Perceptual Coherence : Hearing and Seeing

Figure 5.4. Configural motions
demonstrating the interplay of the
parsing and correspondence stages
in apparent movement. In each
display, the two rows portray the
alternating images. The arrow in
the top row illustrates the perceived
motion that connects those
two images (A). For example, in
(A) a black rectangle grows out
of the black square on the left, in
(B) a gray rectangle grows out of
the black square on the left, and in
(C) a gray rectangle grows out of
the gray square on the right.
