The threshold to perceive motion of a dot by itself is 10–20 min arc/sec, whereas the threshold for motion against a background is 1–2 min arc/sec (Aubert, 1886). If the dot is surrounded by a rectangle, the dot is seen to move in relation to the rectangle, a phenomenon known as the surround effect.
Biological motion covers intrinsic motion, that is, the motion of a deforming body relative to reference systems centered on the body or its parts. The term “animate motion”, on the other hand, gets commonly associated with the motion of whole objects through space and relative to each other.
14 mar 2020 · From a horizontal development perspective, the research on psychological distance experienced theory generation, theory driving, and theory diffusion. The psychological construction process represents the theoretical foundation of psychological distance.
Traversing psychological distance. In this review, we examine the benefits of high-level, abstract mental representations for self-regulating with respect to psychologically distal objects (goals, events, and humans) by summarizing and extending our work on construal level theory (CLT; [1,2]).
In tracing the evolution of the term "biological motion" and its use, this chapter attempts to characterize and classify the various questions and experimental paradigms that have dominated research on biological motion perception over the last few, decades.
‘Motion perception’ describes the spatio-temporal process of motion perception and the perceptual effects that tell us something about the characteristics of the motion system: apparent motion, the motion after-effect, and induced motion.
11 kwi 2020 · The aim of this article is to present the explication of the concepts of law, model, and theory, and of their relationships, made within the framework of Sneedian or metatheoretical structuralism and of their application to a case from the realm of biology: population dynamics.
