Apparent reversals for circular and elliptical stimuli.
Number of apparent reversals for various patterned ellipses and circles was investigated. Ellipses produced significantly more reversals than circles. Patterned stimuli produced a number of reversals dependent upon pattern orientation and corroborated predictions consistent with Power and Day's (1973) general constancy theory for apparent reversals.
