In 2 experiments the discriminability between 2 sinusoidal gratings was determined as a function of orientation and spatial frequency differences. Orientation (12) (15.degree. steps) and 4 spatial frequencies (2, 4, 8, 12 c[cycle]/deg [degree]) were considered and corresponding discrimination thresholds were determined [in humans]. Spatial frequency discrimination thresholds did not significantly vary over all frequency and orientation positions and averaged at .+-. 1/8 octave limits. Orientation thresholds only slightly increased with spatial frequency (from .+-. 5.degree. at 2 c/deg to .+-. 6.degree. at 12 c/deg). A large and consistent anisotropy occurred with orientation thresholds showing most sensitivity in the horizontal and vertical directions, with largest thresholds at the oblique angles. No oblique effect was observed with spatial frequency thresholds. Past observations were confirmed; an extensive set of threshold measurements in the 2-dimensional spatial domain was provided.
