Abstract
Perceptual-Wlling-in (PFI) & motion-induced-blindness (MIB) are two phenomena of temporary blindness in which, after prolonged viewing, perceptually salient targets repeatedly disappear & reappear, amidst a Weld of distracters (i.e., non-targets). Past studies have shown that boundary adaptation is important in PFI, & that depth ordering between target & distracter pattern is important in MIB. Here we show that the reverse is also true; that boundary adaptation is important in MIB, & that depth ordering is important in PFI. Results corroborate our earlier conjecture that PFI & MIB are highly related phenomena that share a common underlying mechanism. We argue that this mechanism involves boundary adaptation, but also that the depth eVect shows that boundary adaptation can be no more than a suYcient cause of PFI & MIB, & not a necessary one.
