Abstract
Eight Ss were required to set a grating to vertical following exposure to a tilted grating. Aftereffect was measured with both gratings stationary, with one grating stationary and the other moving, or with both gratings moving either in the same or in opposite directions. The mean tilt aftereffect did not vary among these conditions. The results are discussed with reference to explanations of visual tilt aftereffect that have been offered in terms of selective suppression of spatially tuned feature detectors.
