The appearance of a face can be strongly affected by adaptation to faces seen previously. A number of studies have examined the time course of these aftereffects, but the integration time over which adaptation pools signals to control the adaptation state remains uncertain. Here we examined the effects of temporal frequency on face gender aftereffects induced by a pair of faces alternating between the two genders to assess when the aftereffects were pooled over successive faces versus driven by the last face seen. In the first experiment, we found that temporal frequencies between 0.25 and 2.00 Hz all failed to produce an aftereffect, suggesting a fairly long integration time. In the second experiment, we therefore probed slower alternation rates of 0.03 to 0.25 Hz. A rate of 0.0625 Hz (i.e., 8 seconds per face) was required to generate significant aftereffects from the last presented face and was consistent with an average time constant of 15 to 20 seconds for an exponentially decaying integration window. This integration time is substantially longer than found previously for analogous effects for alternating colors, and thus points to a potentially slower mechanism of adaptation for faces compared with chromatic adaptation.
