A masking task was employed to determine whether predictions derived from the attentive-field postulate of assimilation theory could be verified. The distance between masking and test lines was varied both towards and away from the center of the attentive field. As predicted, masking was greater when the mask was near the center of attention than when it was located at the periphery of the field. A variation of the mathematical formula developed previously to predict visual illusions was employed to fit the individual and group functions found in this study.
采用了一项掩蔽任务来确定能否验证从同化理论的注意场假设得出的预测。掩蔽线与测试线之间的距离朝着和远离注意场中心的方向变化。正如预测的那样，当掩蔽物靠近注意力中心时，掩蔽效果比其位于注意场边缘时更强。采用先前开发的用于预测视觉错觉的数学公式的变体来拟合本研究中发现的个体和群体函数。
