The measurement of sensory ocular dominance and its relation to personality

A method was designed for measuring sensory retinal rivalry. By comparing the measurements of the right and left eye. a measure of dominance of one over the other is obtained. A large number of subjects show no dominance at all. Dominance increases with age. Dominance in retinal rivalry was then correlated with each of a battery of neuropsychological and psychological scores. Retinal rivalry results are related to a type of psychological rigidity similar to perseveration. © 1969 American Academy of Optometry.
