Peer reviewedCraver-Lemley, Catherine; Reeves, Adam – Psychological Review, 1992
The Perky effect, identified in 1910, is the reduction in performance from the no-imagery to the imagery condition. A series of experiments with over 100 undergraduates and graduates shows that the reduction reflects a true reduction in visual sensitivity, not just alteration in criteria for responding or response organization.
