PS262 Study Guide - Final Guide: Afterimage, Biological Motion, Motor Cortex
Document Summary
Optic ow: as a person moves forward, objects move relative to the person in the opposite direction. Akinestopsia: blindness to motion, couldn"t pour tea because liquid doesn"t move", people suddenly appear/dissapear. Attentional capture: the ability of motion to attract attention is called attentional capture, occurs not only when you are consciously looking for something, but also while you are paying attention to something else. Real motion: actual motion of an object. True motion: an object displayed continually through space. Illusory motion: apparent motion, the perception of motion when there is none, objects separated in space ash on and off. Motion aftereffects: occur when viewing a moving stimulus for 30 60 seconds causes a stationary stimulus to appear to move, one example of a motion after effect, is the waterfall illusion. If you look at a waterfall for 30-60 seconds- then look off to the side, everything appears to move for a moment.
