24 male and female Ss, divided into three groups of 8 Ss each on the basis of their creativity test scores, were tested under fully counterbalanced conditions involving three sizes of Necker cubes, viewed under both monocular and binocular conditions. The response measure was number of figure reversals experienced during 2-min. viewing periods for each set of conditions. Image size was statistically significant, while creativity levels and viewing conditions were not.
