Ascertains the diameter of the pupil when fully adapted to the darkness, as well as investigates the effect of exposing one or both eyes to a given brightness. In the first part of the study, instantaneous photographs were taken over the entire range of intensities for three Ss. The shape of the curves was approximately the same for each S, though individual differences were found in actual pupillary diameters. The closing of one eye markedly increased the diameter of the pupil. The diameter stopped decreasing after the intensity increased above 100 milliamberts. In the second part of the study, six Ss were exposed to six suitable brightness levels with both eyes open. The curves obtained showed large individual variations in the maximum diameter of pupils, which ranged from 7-8.5 mm. The average pupil took less time to reach its minimum than its maximum diameter.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
