Abstract
Ss viewed letters through a tube which permitted differential presentation to each eye. In Experiment 1 four letters were projected at a time for 20 msec., while in Experiments 2 and 3 eight letters were projected for 1 sec. S always perceived the letters as falling in the corners of a square field, and could never tell which eye each letter was projected to, although this was varied. Ten male right eye‐dominant university students were Ss in each experiment. Report was most accurate for projection to the left field of the left eye and right field of the right eye in all experiments. Right eye recognition was much better in Experiment 2 than in Experiment 3, suggesting that only this eye gained from eye movements.
