On interocular transfer of motion aftereffects. 
A brief history of quantitative assessments of interocular transfer (IOT) of the motion aftereffect (MAE) is presented.  Recent research indicates that the MAE occurs as a consequence of adapting detectors for relative rather than retinal motion.  When gratings above and below a stationary, fixated grating are moved in an otherwise dark field the central, retinally stationary grafting appears to move in the opposite direction; when tested with stationary gratings an MAE is almost entirely confined to the central grating.  The IOT of such an MAE was measured in experiment 1: the display was presented to one eye with a black field in the other.  The IOT was about 30% of the monocular MAE.  Similar values were found in experiment 2, in which the contralateral eye received an equivalent central stationary grating during adaptation and test.  The dichoptic interaction of the processes involved in the MAE was examined by presenting the central gratings to both eyes and a single flanking grating above in one eye and below in the other (experiment 3).  The MAE was tested with either the same or the contralateral pairing.  Oppositely directed MAEs were found for the central and flanking gratings, but they were confined mainly to the conditions in which the configurations presented during adaptation were present in the same eyes during test.  In experiment 4, the surround MAEs were compared after adaptation with two moving gratings in one eye or with a similar dichoptic configuration, and they were of similar duration.  In a final experiment the MAE was tested either monocularly or binocularly after alternating adaptation of the left and right eyes and was found to be of the same duration.  It is concluded that the MAE is a consequence of adapting relational-motion detectors, which are either monocular or of the binocular OR class.
