AB  - Amblyopic subjects were tested on different visual tasks which required temporal 
      integration of successively presented stimuli: a figure had to be detected whose 
      components were displayed successively and hidden in spatio-temporal noise. The 
      time interval T over which the figure elements were dispersed was varied and the 
      longest T value still compatible with figure detection was determined. In all 
      subjects these T values were considerably longer for the normal than for the 
      amblyopic eye. A missing square had to be detected in a checker-board of 3 X 3 
      squares that was presented in two successive frames, each frame containing 4 
      squares. With the normal eye, identification of the missing square was possible 
      over considerably longer interstimulus intervals (ISIs) than with the amblyopic 
      eye. Changes had to be detected in two patterns of randomly distributed squares 
      that were presented successively with varying ISI whereby one square was added or 
      subtracted in the second pattern. With the normal eye, detection of changes was 
      possible over much longer ISIs than with the amblyopic eye. These experiments 
      show a deficit of the amblyopic visual system to integrate temporally separated 
      stimuli. We conclude that amblyopia is associated with a marked reduction of the 
      duration of visual persistence and suggest that this is due to shortening of 
      normally sustained neuronal responses.
