Abstract
Thirty-two visually observers showed reduced sensitivity to uniform field flicker in the fovea of the nonsighting eye relative to the sighting eye. The two eyes showed equal sensitivity to flicker in the peripheral retina. This result with visually normal observers is analogous to that found in observers with functional amblyopia. It is also consistent with the hypothesis that ambylopic and normal suppressive processes share a common mechanism.
