Abstract
Members of 14 pairs of 21-yr.-old men, matched with respect to general intelligence and educational background, were given different afterimage (AI) theories. One member was told that AIs are almost exclusively determined by subjective factors, the other that they are mainly controlled by the environment and, that phenomenologically they scarcely differ from real objects. In a subsequent AI experiment, with a projection distance 1.5 times the stimulation distance, the latter member reported images smaller than Emmert size, as well as positive hues, significantly more often than the former member, i.e., his AIs were more “childish” than those of the member encouraged to isolate his AI from the surrounding physical reality.Keywords
