| Abstract: | The area of human behavior with which this study deals is the tendency of human beings to report objects as being in motion when suitable stimuli are presented pictorially in a static visual field. This tendency is the basis for the perception of movement in artistic productions, and probably forms the basis for the well-known M response on the Rorschach Test. A general purpose is to demonstrate the existence of this tendency in children and adults and to show its distribution in the population. A more specific purpose is to investigate individual differences in this ability, and the relationship of apparent motion perception to normal development and abnormal states. The problem involved in the perception of motion in stationary objects arises as a fundamental problem in art, especially in drawing, painting, and sculpture. There are two aspects to this problem, a psychological and a technical one. Artists have tried in several ways to deal with the problem of how movement can be portrayed in their work. Obviously, much of the skill of the artist is dependent on his ability to make his figures lifelike--to give them the quality of movement. |
