When observers tracked moving stripes across a background either of stationary stripes, or of stripes moving in the opposite direction, they saw a clear motion aftereffect when the stripes stopped moving. The direction of this aftereffect was opposite to that of the previously tracked stripes, and was thus the same as the direction of the retinal movement of the non-tracked stripes. This aftereffect of tracking was shown not to depend upon slippage of the tracked contours on the retina during tracking, or upon the saccadic phase of optokinetic nystagmus. The effect showed storage over a period of time with the eyes shut. It appears that the effect is due to induced movement, and arises originally from stimulation of the retina by background contours in the tracking phase. This was shown by confining the view of the moving target to one eye, while permitting both eyes to be exposed to background stimulation during tracking. After such stimulation the magnitude of the aftereffect was equal in the two eyes.
