Continuous perspective transformations and the perception of rigid motion.

"Continuous perspective transformations of varying length were presented in 2-sec. cycles to each O on the visibly flat surface of a translucent screen. Judgments of the amount of change of slant of the apparently rigid object were in good correspondence with the length of the transformation sequence, without depending on the kind of pattern which carried the transformation. The patterns differed with respect to regularity vs. irregularity and form vs. texture. Regularity may have had a small effect on the variability of judgments but texturedness did not." 16 references. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
