Worthington has reported a study which employed rate of dark adaptation as an index of perceptual defence. Recently Weintraub & Krantz reported a replication study which failed to reproduce the original findings. It can be argued that this was not a true replication but nevertheless the reliability of the original findings and the potential usefulness of the procedure were placed in doubt. The study reported here represented an attempt to improve the procedure originally utilised and to evaluate the consistency of the effect. The most significant improvement in technique concerned the use of one test stimulus throughout the entire procedure and the use of improved measurement techniques. The results strongly support Worthington's original interpretation that, using appropriate methodology, it is possible to demonstrate the existence of a perceptual component in perceptual defence. |
