Adaptation in motion perception: Alteration of induced motion

TLDR
Results were obtained that argue that the perceptual process that underlies induced motion is learned and is not due to a diminished horizontal motion of the pattern but amounts to a smaller motion-inducing effect.
Abstract
Prolonged exposure to a condition that causes induced motion was found to diminish this effect. The extent of a horizontal induced motion was measured by obtaining estimates of the direction of the apparent oblique path that resulted when a spot was visible on a horizontally moving pattern and was therefore in horizontal induced motion and, at the same time, moved vertically. Because the horizontal component of the perceived motion path represented the induced motion, the slope of the path measured the extent of the induced motion. After a 10-min exposure to induced motion, the apparent motion path was steeper; the mean change corresponded to a 15% smaller extent of the induced motion. Results were obtained that argue that this effect is not due to a diminished horizontal motion of the pattern but amounts to a smaller motion-inducing effect. The experiments were meant to support the view that the perceptual process that underlies induced motion is learned.

A theory of phenomenal geometry and its applications.

TL;DR: It is concluded from phenomenal geometry that the size-distance and motion-distance invariance hypotheses are special cases of the head motion paradigm, and that proposed explanations in terms of compensation, expectation, or logical processes often are unnecessary for predicting responses to single or multiple stimuli involving head or stimulus motion.

On the relativity of perceived motion

TL;DR: The results show that the traditional view of perceived stability of the visual world during eye movements is incomplete, and lead to the rejection of theories according to which ocular velocity is under-represented in extraretinal signals.

Induced movement in the visual modality - an overview

TL;DR: Induced movement, illusory movement in a stationary stimulus resulting from adjoining movement, has received steady experimental investigation over the last 70 years or so and may have important implications for visual perception of object morion.

A Selective History of the Study of Visual Motion Aftereffects

TL;DR: The relatively unchanging characteristic of the study of MAEs has been the mode of measurement: duration continues to be used as an index of its strength, although measures of threshold elevation and nulling with computer-generated motions are becoming more prevalent.

The visual perception of velocity.

TL;DR: It is concluded that velocity is perceived directly and is dynamically conditioned by the structure and general properties of the visual field in which the movement occurs.

An investigation of the relationship between eye and retinal image movement in the perception of movement

TL;DR: Results indicate that a discrepancy between eye and target movement greater than 20% predictably lead to perceived target movement, whereas a discrepancy of 5% or less rarely leads to perceived movement.

The loss of position constancy during pursuit eye movements.

TL;DR: The result is that compensation for image displacements of background objects is only partial since it is fimited by the under-registration of eye movement velocity, and this hypothesis gains support from the fact that a moving object appears to move more slowly when tracked than when its image paints over the retina.

Position Constancy during Pursuit Eye Movement: An Investigation of the Filehne Illusion:

TL;DR: Results reveal only a partial loss of position constancy for the background during tracking, leading to the speculation that the source of the Filehne illusion is an underestimation of the rate of pursuit eye movements.
