When physical time between flashes is 500 msec., perceived time between them decreases as their retinal displacement is increased. A previous study on apparent rate of flicker showed perceived time, contrariwise, to increase with stimulus eccentricity. It was inferred that time judgments in the two situations are founded upon operation of different time referent scales within the visual system.
