Note: The main character is a psychologist who is trying to study "genetic influences on tolerance of perceptual novelty". This was essentially the work of the author, as Alice Sheldon, for her Ph.D. thesis in Experimental Psychology, as described in her paper Preference for Familiar vs. Novel Stimuli as a Function of the Familiarity of the Environment, J. of Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 67(4), April, 1969, pp. 516-521.
