Abstract

Some of the standard data on motion perception are reviewed in light of the implications of Korte's Laws and of the similarity between real and illusory motion. It is shown that an important consequence of Korte's Laws is a constancy of velocity of objects in apparent motion, but the data do not support this assertion. An experiment examines the perception of motion as a function of the spatial density of stimulation; the results reveal that the perception of motion does not improve in a regular way when the space between two flashes of light is gradually filled in with other flashes. The conclusion is drawn that real motion and apparent motion represent the operation of markedly different processes.
