Abstract

The study reports an attempt to determine the effect of angle of approach on amount of movement necessary to perceive a point-source of light as being in motion. It was found that as angle increased threshold decreased. This result was interpreted as being primarily a function of rate of movement. In the light of previous work it is suggested that the relationship between rate of movement and threshold is curvilinear.
