Attractive and repulsive history effects in categorical and continuous estimates of orientation perception.

ABSTRACT: Perceptual reports can be attracted toward or repulsed from previous stimuli and responses. We investigated the conditions in which attractive and repulsive history effects occur with oriented Gabors by manipulating response type and frequency, as well as stimulus duration. When subjects adjusted a continuous response cue to match orientation, we observed repulsion from the previous stimulus when the stimulus was presented for 50 ms and attraction from the previous stimulus and response when it was presented for 500 ms, regardless of whether responses were given to every stimulus or every other stimulus. Both effects increased with relative orientation between events. With a categorical clockwise/counterclockwise response, there was attraction to the previous response and repulsion from th
