An "anchoring account" of the classic simultaneous contrast demonstration, first elucidated by Gilchrist et al. (1999) and most recently endorsed by Gilchrist (2014), is tested by adding a small white square to the black half of the display and a small black square to the white half of the display. The alteration should eliminate the effect, which, however, appears unaffected.
