Abstract
Discrimination was between a striated and a homogeneous field. Thresholds at 75% accuracy were obtained at three levels of brightness. Two rhesus monkeys and two adult humans were subjects. The range of thresholds for the monkeys was from .67 to .90 minute of visual angle, for humans .48 to .81. The thresholds increased with reduction in the brightness of the test fields. The thresholds are of the same order as those reported for the chimpanzee and the cebus monkey.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
