  2. Illusory motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_motion

    Billboards and other electronic signs use apparent motion to simulate moving text by flashing lights on and off as if the text is moving.. The term illusory motion, or motion illusion or apparent motion, refers to any optical illusion in which a static image appears to be moving due to the cognitive effects of interacting color contrasts, object shapes, and position.

  3. Phi phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_phenomenon

    Example of beta movement. Phi phenomenon has long been confused with beta movement; however, the founder of Gestalt School of Psychology, Max Wertheimer, has distinguished the difference between them in 1912. While Phi phenomenon and Beta movement can be considered in the same category in a broader sense, they are quite distinct indeed.

  4. Korte's third law of apparent motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korte's_third_law_of...

    The third law, particularly, describes how the increase in distance between two stimuli narrows the range of interstimulus intervals (ISI), which produce the apparent motion. [4] It holds that there is a requirement for the proportional decrease in the frequency in which two stimulators are activated in alternation with the increase in ISI to ...

  5. Motion perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_perception

    Although this process appears straightforward to most observers, it has proven to be a difficult problem from a computational perspective, and difficult to explain in terms of neural processing. Motion perception is studied by many disciplines, including psychology (i.e. visual perception ), neurology , neurophysiology , engineering , and ...

    This joint determination by multiple causality is one major theme of developmental systems theory that also overlaps with the dynamical systems theory by Esther Thelen. An example of how multiple causes can lead to one action is human movement. In the body, the brain can send many different signals to cause movements such as speech.

  7. Neo-Piagetian theories of cognitive development - Wikipedia

    The neo-Piagetian theories aim to correct one or more of the following weaknesses in Piaget's theory: Piaget's developmental stage theory proposes that people develop through various stages of cognitive development, but his theory does not sufficiently explain why development from stage to stage occurs. [1]

  8. Heinz Werner's orthogenetic principle - Wikipedia

    Heinz Werner's orthogenetic principle is a foundation for current theories of developmental psychology [1] and developmental psychopathology. [2] [3] Initially proposed in 1940, [4] it was formulated in 1957 [5] [6] and states that "wherever development occurs it proceeds from a state of relative globality and lack of differentiation to a state of increasing differentiation, articulation, and ...

  9. Apparent motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_motion

    Beta movement, an illusion of movement where two or more still images are combined by the brain into surmised motion; Illusory motion, the appearance of movement in a static image; Phi phenomenon, an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in succession
