Abstract

Presenting target stimuli at the proper spacing, duration, and time interval produces movement perception in human observers. The observer sees a single target stimulus moving continuously across the physically empty space, from its first location to its second. The optimum movement perception depends mainly on such physical variables as duration of light flashes, time between flashes, intensity of flashes, and distance between flashes. The present research explores the condition under which optimum move-ment perception occurs when the distances between two stimulus flashes are 2, 5, 8, 11 and 15 centimeters. In the research average duration of flashes, p, occurred when the optimum movement perception was measured as a function of the time between flashes, t, and expressed by the rational function, μ = 1/At⁴ + Bt³ + Ct² + Dt + E The results may help one to understand one of the aspects of operator performance and to aid in improving man-machine systems.
