Two experiments investigated the properties of visual persistence as functions of spatial frequency, stimulus duration, and pattern-specific adaptation. In Experiment 1, increasing the duration of high spatial-frequency gratings from 50 to 500 msec decreased the duration of visual persistence produced by that grating to an asymptotic level. However, low-frequency gratings produced a constant estimate of visual persistence independent of presentation time. Also, spatial-frequency specific adaptation reduced the persistence of the high-frequency gratings to this asymptotic level, but the lower frequency persistence estimates already at this level were unaffected (Experiment 2). These findings are related to possible temporal properties of the sustained and transient visual systems.
两项实验研究了视觉暂留特性与空间频率、刺激持续时间及模式特异性适应之间的关系。在实验1中，将高空间频率光栅的持续时间从50毫秒增加到500毫秒，会使该光栅产生的视觉暂留持续时间降至渐近水平。然而，低频光栅产生的视觉暂留估计值是恒定的，与呈现时间无关。此外，空间频率特异性适应将高频光栅的暂留降低到这个渐近水平，但已经处于该水平的低频暂留估计值不受影响（实验2）。这些发现与持续视觉系统和瞬态视觉系统可能的时间特性有关。
