INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION WITH STIMULI IN CONTINUOUS MOTION.

Abstract

Research concerned with information integration has led to conflicting results with respect to the predictions of the integration model of the theory of signal detectability. One difference between auditory or conceptual tasks and visual involves the presence or absence of within-trial 'stimulus variability'. The present experiment employed stimuli in motion which were non-redundant. The results were similar to those obtained with the more static, redundant visual stimuli. It was suggested that the integration model might be invalid in that it predicts integration superior to what Ss are capable of and that the frequent good fit of data to theory is an artifact based on orienting properties of the first stimulus presentation.
