Monica looks up at a bowl on a shelf and reaches her hand toward it.By doing this, which of the following is Monica using?

While flying a plane, a pilot sees what he thinks is a large plane moving very fast in the distance.However, when he realizes that the plane is really quite small, he also realizes that it is ______ than previously thought.

MT, also known as V5, is an area in the ______.

Research on point-light walker displays shows that in order to perceive biological motion, an observer must see the entire person or animal.

MT or V5 is an area of the occipital lobe in the dorsal pathway, specific to motion detection and perception.

The spoked-wheel illusion happens when a person perceives the clockwise motion of a bicycle's spokes as ______.

In akinetopsia, ______.

In which of the following scenarios could a person identify a dog using the point-light walker display?

Larsen et al.(2006) compared the neural responses to real and apparent motion by recording brain activity with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology.The fMRI brain scans ______.

In the furrow illusion, when the image is set in motion, the yellow circles move from left to right or right to left across the large gray and white circle.But when a person focuses on the top yellow circle ______.

The way the visual system knows if an object seen at time 1 is the same object at time 2 is known as the ______.

An experiment in which small lights are attached to the body of a person or an animal, which is then filmed moving in an otherwise completely dark environment, is known as the ______.

Akinetopsia is a rare condition in which a patient is unable to detect motion despite intact visual perception of stationary stimuli, caused by damage to Area MT.

Otero-Millan, Macknik, and Martinez-Conde (2012) showed the rotating snake illusion to participants and asked them to indicate when the perceived motion was at a maximum and to indicate when the figure appeared to be not rotating.They found that the perception of motion was ______.

The destination point in an optic flow display, from which point perceived motion derives, is known as ______.

Corollary discharge theory is the theory that the motion perception occurs before eye movements, but that apparent motion is discounted when considering spontaneous decisions to make eye movements.

When an object is perceived as moving on the basis of what is actually a series of stationary images being presented sequentially, such as in the movies, we have ______.

In Newsome and Paré's (1988) experiment, 100% condition, all the dots were moving in the same condition.In the 50% condition, half the dots were moving in a consistent direction.In the 20% condition, only one fifth of the dots were moving in a consistent direction.They found that ______.

Rafael sees a motorcycle speed past him about 10 feet away.Then he sees another motorcycle moving at the same speed a quarter mile away, but it seems to be moving more slowly than the previous motorcycle.Rafael is experiencing ______.
