A study of sequential blanking and overprinting combined

By presenting alphabetic and other types of input characters, in either adjacent spatial locations or in the same spatial location, on the face of a cathode-ray tube (CRT) interfaced to a digital computer and by varying in systematic ways the interstimulus intervals (ISIsj and display orders of the several sequentially presented inputs, there has evolved what we call a “blanking-overprinting” paradigm. The use of such a paradigm has disclosed that the visual system can operate in a very sensitive and highly selective manner, “clearing” the first of two overprinted inputs that are separated in time by as little as 50 usec, while selectively inhibiting the second of these two overprinted inputs, if appropriate blanking inputs are present.
