Abstract

Explains sensory adaptation in terms of presynaptic depletion of transmitter substance and sensory aftereffect in terms of the inefficient reuptake mechanism. The dissipation of the aftereffect is discussed as a function of the length of axons. Using 98 undergraduates and 96 14-15 yr. olds as Ss in 2 experiments, it is shown that the visual aftereffect dissipated more rapidly than the kinesthetic aftereffect and that the recovery of kinesthetic aftereffects was a function of the length of the limb.
