Notes:
Summary It is proposed that apparent motion does not parallel real motion. Bather, apparent motion occurs when the off-period is equivalent to angular velocities at which an object in real motion appears blurred. Experimental evidence is reported which supports this view. It suggests that apparent motion serves biologically to extend the range of motion perception beyond that allowed by time-constants early in the visual system.
