So far, we have considered
the case of a wagging finger or
other single stimulus object.
But in moving pictures several
things are often moving or
different parts of one object are
moving simultaneously. For
example, when we see a woman
walking across the screen, we
usually see feet, arms, and the
entire body move. Consider the
simplified situation in which
three spots, 1, 2, and 3 are
flashed at one time and a
second set of three spots, A, B,
and C are flashed slightly later
in time at somewhat different
positions. Thus the flash at
Time 1 is:
1 2 3
and the flash at Time 2 is:
A B C.
Thus the observer sees an array
of 3 spots which is abruptly
replaced by an array of
identical spots, except that the
entire array is offset slightly to
the right. What spot presented
at Time 1 should be seen as
moving to what location of the
array presented at Time 2, and
why? This issue is referred to as
the correspondence problem.
