An experiment was designed to investigate the possibility of interactions between luminance contrast factors and temporal factors in determining the magnitude of the concentric-circles aftereffect. 24 combinations of inducing figure exposure time, condition of test figure presentation (determined by test figure exposure time and interstimulus interval), inducing figure luminance contrast and test-figure luminance contrast, were used. No interactions were found.
