Interactions of Motion Perception with Pattern Perception,

Abstract

Perception of motion and spatial pattern are closely intertwined. The reaction time for seeing changes in direction are longer for certain spatial arrangements of moving dot patterns than for others. When a stationary pattern of dots overlaps a moving pattern of dots, the amount of adaptation measured by motion aftereffect is significantly attenuated. This is particularly true when collisions occur between dots. An explanation of these motion - pattern interaction is offered in terms of vector model of motion perception. (Author)
