Figure 6. Results of Experiment 9 (Effect of texture continuity).
(A) Schematic of stimuli. The gap condition included a 200ms silent gap positioned immediately following the step (1s from the endpoint of the step interval). The noise burst condition replaced the gap with a 200ms spectrally matched noise, the intensity of which was set to produce perceptual continuity between the texture before and after it. (B) Results for the three conditions. The shaded regions show SEM of individual data points obtained via bootstrap and solid lines plot logistic function fits. (c) Difference between points of subjective equality for the upward and downward steps for each condition (with bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals).
