Eye movement patterns in infants suggest illusory motion perception induced by stationary gradation

Infants less than 1 year old are known to preferentially look at pictures of motion illusion induced by luminance gradation. However, the mechanisms underlying infant’s perception of motion illusion remain unclear. The current study analyzed the eye movement patterns of infants perceiving a motion i...

Sumario:Infants less than 1 year old are known to preferentially look at pictures of motion illusion induced by luminance gradation. However, the mechanisms underlying infant’s perception of motion illusion remain unclear. The current study analyzed the eye movement patterns of infants perceiving a motion illusion induced by stationary luminance gradations (a derivative of the Fraser-Wilcox illusion). Infants produced the same movement patterns that increase the magnitude of illusory motion in adults. We conclude that infants and adults similarly perceive motion illusion.
