Absence of masking in the path of apparent movement

Abstract

Alternation of diagonal pairs of lights produced apparent movement which S could organize in either of two distinctly different ways, as instructed. The task was to detect movement of a weak probe light that either was or was not located in the path of the apparent movement, depending on the organization, stimulation being identical in the two cases. Results showed no evidence of path-specific masking. © 1974 Psychonomic Society, Inc.
