Abstract
Forced-choice form recognition thresholds were obtained for both eyes concurrently during fusion of targets varying in contour density. For targets with many contours, decrements in recognition were found which were consistent with the assumption that suppression during fusion occurs when the targets have complex configurations. The results support a modified form of the suppression theory.
