Duration of exposure of Rorschach stimuli

In this study we assessed the influence of duration of exposure of the Rorschach stimuli on the response determinants when the information processing is interrupted using a patterned mask or visual noise. Analysis shows that increasing duration of exposure does not yield a parallel increase in the production of more structured responses. These results are discussed in light of the familiarity of the forms and of the distribution of physical energy or luminance present in the stimulus.
