Document Summary

Motion helps us understand events in our environment. Also essential for our ability to move through the environment. Motion agnosia, ability to perceive motion is disrupted: difficult to pour tea into a cup because the liquid appeared frozen or follow dialogue because she couldn t see motions of a speaker s face and mouth. Attentional capture, ability of motion to attract attention. Example of blending into the background by not moving: movement perceptually organizes all the elements of an object creating a figure that is separated from the background. Real motion, actual motion of an object. Illusory motion, perception of motion that involve stimuli that aren t moving. Induced motion, occurs when motion of one object (usually larger) causes a nearby stationary object (usually smaller) to appear to move. Results, activation associated with apparent motion is similar to activation for real motion. Jeremy walks across the room + maria s eyes are stationary.
