Abstract
The phenomenal (visual) field is not homogeneous (anisotropic). Clear examples of this are given by Bartlett’s “replication experiments” and Blum’s “firegrass model”. In 1991, Stadler, Kruse, Richter and Pfaff attempted to develop a vector field model of the visual field, and on this basis, Kruse, Luccio, Pfaff and Stadler (1996) demonstrated relevant context effects introducing different directionally oriented shapes in the field. In this paper, we propose some methodological modifications, aimed to improve the consistency of the results.
