Effect of monocular occlusion on rotary pursuit performance.
An experiment was conducted comparing a monocularly occluded to a control group (n = 8 per group) on a rotary pursuit task over a 24-hr. period. The results show that, notwithstanding a practice effect, the monocular group exhibited a significant depression-enhancement effect previously reported only for measures of temporal visual acuity. Evidently this effect generalizes to more complex tasks.
