Document Summary

Perception of movement is based off of our experience: example; car and horse pictures, observers perceive shapes more rapidly and accurately when an object is moving. Studying motion perception: real motion, an object is physically moving, examples; a car driving by, people walking, or a bug scurrying across a tabletop. Motion perception: information in the environment: ecological approach (gibson) Motion perception: retina/eye information: corollary discharge theory: takes eye movements into account and explains motion perception by considering these three signals. The email goes to the person it is addressed to, and a copy of the email is simultaneously sent to someone else at another address: movement is perceived when comparator receives input from, corollary discharge signal or. Image displacement signal: movement is not perceived when comparator receives input from, both corollary discharge and image displacement signals at the same time.
