Document Summary
An illusion of movement that occurs when two objects separated in space are presented rapidly, one after another, separated by a brief time interval. A statistical approach to perception in which perception is determined by taking probabilities into account. These probabilities are based on past experiences in perceiving properties of objects and scenes. A situation in which one image is presented to the left eye and a different image is presented to the right eye, and perception alternates back and forth between the two images. When two areas share a border, as occurs in figure ground displays, the border is usually perceived as belonging to the figure. When an object is seen as separate from the background (the ground ), it is called a figure. The perceptual separation of an object from its background. An approach to psychology that developed as a reaction to structuralism.
