6 right- and 6 left-eye dominant Ss were tested as to the effects of this dominance on the percent of time suppression of conflicting line stimuli in the two eyes occurred. The amount of suppression also depended on whether the suppressed stimulus was a vertical or horizontal line and the distance between the suppressing lines. The results were discussed in terms of several partial explanations regarding rivalry phenomena.
