Question 3

Some motion is so slow that we cannot perceive it, and other motion is so fast that we cannot perceive it.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 4

How do people infer form from the point-light walker display?

Accepted Answer

With the point-light walker display, people watch a video of a person who has small lights attached to key points of his or her body walking in a dark area.As a result, the viewers can only see the lights, not the person.Based on the movements of the lights, the views can detect the human form while it moves.The same principle applies when people view lights attached to animals.

Question 5

As Roger watches a tennis match, his eyes track the back-and-forth movement of the ball.After a while, he realizes that he feels the pull of different eye muscles depending on whether he looks to the right or the left and these sensations help his brain to know where the ball is.Roger's experience is an example of ______.

Accepted Answer

A)  Reichardt's theory of motion
B)  the Phi model of motion
C)  corollary discharge theory
D)  the dual perception model of motionE) All of the above

Accepted Answer

A)  monkeys with lesioned LIP areas did not perceive biological motion
B)  the LIP area of the parietal lobe is involved with both the anticipation of the eye movement and the eye movement itself
