Question 3

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.
