Abstract
The persistence of complementary afterimages was studied in 36 young (X age 18.8 years) and old (X age 62.1 years) male and female subjects. Afterimage persistence was found to be a direct function of exposure duration and to be greater for the older subjects as compared with the younger ones. The interactions between age and duration and between presentation order and duration were also significant. The data extend support for the "stimulus persistence" model to age differences in retinal function.Keywords
