Eight experiments, based on the original design of Schafer & Murphy (1943) for study of the development of the figure—ground relationship, are examined and the results found to be contradictory. The definition given of the perception of the figure–ground relationship is judged to be inadequate and ascribed to an unwillingness of behavioristically oriented psychologists to analyze the term perception with reference to perceptual experience.
