TL;DR: The results were interpreted as suggesting two general energy processing activities--criterion development and an impulse "countdown"--going on in parallel which are in series with a sensory delay.
Abstract: Fourteen studies from the literature on the reaction time (RT) to a flash of light provided sufficient methodological detail and data to allow for a quantitative analysis of the effects of the following selected variables: luminance, duration, size of stimulus, response to onset versus termination of the signal, and monocular versus binocular viewing. Mathematical relationships were developed which can be used to predict binocular rts over a wide range of luminance, signal duration, and signal size. It was also shown that the product of rt and luminance may be used to represent a response criterion in the sense implied by the theory of signal detection as developed in recent latency models. The results were interpreted as suggesting two general energy processing activities--criterion development and an impulse "countdown"--going on in parallel which are in series with a sensory delay.

TL;DR: The optokinetic response was used to assess the relationship between the optic tectum and primitive cortex and indicated that movement detection is relatively independent in the two eyes, each involved only with temporal to nasal movement.
Abstract: The optokinetic response was used to assess the relationship between the optic tectum and primitive cortex. The effects of monocular vision as well as transection of the optic tectum commissure on movement detection in the turtle was examined. Ablation of the cortex or tectum indicated that the cortex had little functional significance and that the optic tectum was the primary visual center. The monocular study indicated that movement detection is relatively independent in the two eyes, each involved only with temporal to nasal movement. Transection of the tectal commissure abolished the supernormal response rate following sudden reversal of stimulus movement. This effect supported a proposed tectal integrative mechanism involved in movement detection in the turtle.

TL;DR: BINOCULAR and MONOCULAR VISION at night and night vision at night were studied with the American AutomOBILE ASSOCIATION Night Sight Meter.
Abstract: BINOCULAR AND MONOCULAR VISION AT NIGHT WERE STUDIED WITH THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION NIGHT SIGHT METER. NINETY-SIX SUBJECTS WERE TESTED FOR GLARE VISION, NIGHT VISION AND RECOVERY TIME. NO DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN MONOCULAR AND BINOCULAR NOCTURNAL VISIBILITY. THE INSTRUMENT ITSELF MAY ONLY BE VALID AS A MEASURE OF RECOVERY TIME FROM GLARE.

TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that adult Ss made distance bisection judgments over a surface on which the packing density of the texture elements was progressively increased along the Ss' line of sight from one end of the surface to the other.
Abstract: Adult Ss made distance bisection judgments over a surface on which the packing density of the texture elements was progressively increased along the Ss’ line of sight from one end of the surface to the other. Distance judgments were significantly different under monocular and binocular conditions of vision; however, with binocular vision, Ss did not detect the deformation in the texture on the surface. This result does not support predictions derived from Gibson, Purdy, and Lawrence (1955) concerning the role of gradients of binocular disparity in Gibson’s psychophysical theory of space perception.
