Ten subjects were monocularly deprived for a period of 6 hr. The CFF of the non-occluded eye was determined just before deprivation, at 3 and 6 hr. of deprivation and at 1, 3, 5, and 18 hr. following restoration of binocular vision. Results indicated a large depression in CFF at 6 hr. of deprivation followed by a gradual return to baseline that was virtually complete 18 hr. after binocular vision was restored. The results were discussed in terms of previous research and theory.
