The case for motor involvement in perceiving conspecifics.

M Wilson, G Knoblich - Psychological bulletin, 2005 - psycnet.apa.org
Perceiving other people's behaviors activates imitative motor plans in the perceiver, but
there is disagreement as to the function of this activation. In contrast to other recent …

Dynamic mental representations.

JJ Freyd - Psychological review, 1987 - psycnet.apa.org
This article pursues the possibility that perceivers are sensitive to implicit dynamic
information even when they are not able to observe real-time change. Recent empirical …

Representational momentum and related displacements in spatial memory: A review of the findings

TL Hubbard - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2005 - Springer
Memory for the final location of a moving target is often displaced in the direction of target
motion, and this has been referred to as representational momentum. Characteristics of the …

Judged displacement in apparent vertical and horizontal motion

TL Hubbard, JJ Bharucha - Perception & Psychophysics, 1988 - Springer
The judged vanishing point of a target traveling along a vertical or horizontal trajectory at
uniform velocity was examined. In Experiments 1 and 2, subjects indicated the vanishing …

C Urgesi, V Moro, M Candidi… - Journal of Neuroscience, 2006 - Soc Neuroscience
The human visual system is highly tuned to perceive actual motion as well as to extrapolate
dynamic information from static pictures of objects or creatures captured in the middle of …

Environmental invariants in the representation of motion: Implied dynamics and representational momentum, gravity, friction, and centripetal force

TL Hubbard - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 1995 - Springer
Memory for the final position of a moving target is often shifted or displaced from the true
final position of that target. Early studies of this memory shift focused on parallels between …
