INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN NECKER CUBE REVERSAL RATES AND PERSPECTIVE DOMINANCE

Abstract
Several responses to Necker cubes were shown to be influenced by characteristics of the stimulus. This study used a linear components of variance analysis to examine individual differences with respect to these influences. Two well-delineated independent dimensions of individual differences emerged. It was suggested that one of these may be related to field dependency and another to the adoption by Ss of different strategies in their attempts to increase reversal rates. Four other components of variance involving measures of perspective dominance emerged, suggesting that other dimensions of individual differences exist.
