Motion Perception 1: Two-Dimensional Motion Perception

Illustrates how stimuli moving in two-dimensional space are perceived by the viewer. Use of computer-generated stimuli and movements of human subjects show how motions are seen and analyzed in terms of groups and subgroups. Demonstrates Gestalt law of common fate and shows how viewers are able easily to identify a series of complex motions with very few sources of light. From the Films at the Frontiers of Psychological Inquiry series. J.B. Maas and G. Johansson
