Two groups of 8 Ss each were exposed either to a constant optical tilt (Group C) of 30° for ½ hr. or to a series of prism tilts that varied from 5° to 30° in 5° increments every 5 min. (Group V). The rate of change in level of adaptation per unit time was significantly greater for Group V than Group C. The relation between these results and implications from the assumption of a comparator were discussed.
