Two tasks involved
visual backward masking; the other two were temporal integration
tasks. The backward-masking tasks yielded evidence of slower rates
of visual information processing in dyslexic children; the temporal-integration
tasks yielded evidence of longer duration of visible persistence
in dyslexic children.

differences in visual persistence: experiments on the Ganzfeld
and afterimages Diane McGuinness, Ian Lewis Received 8 December
1975 Abstract. Sex differences were investigated in two experiments
on visual persistence: the Ganzfeld and the afterimage. Males were
found to hold visual sensation longer than females, particularly
in the Ganzfeld where there was little overlap of scores. Variability
of experience in the Ganzfeld was also greater for males and they
commonly reported 'blank-out' effects while females did not. There
was further evidence from both experiments that females are more
responsive to the long-wave region of the frequency spectrum.
