Exposure duration was found to have a different effect on bisection thresholds than on separation-discrimination thresholds. Bisection thresholds were higher than separation discrimination thresholds between 33 and 150 msec but equal to or lower than them at longer durations. Experiments in which stimulus contrast was manipulated showed that the effect of exposure duration on separation-discrimination and bisection thresholds could not be attributed primarily to temporal contrast integration. The data could be accounted for by a model in which bisection is done by encoding the two separations in bisection sequentially.
