Which of the following is NOT a type of motion perception?

  1. Apparent motion

  2. Real motion

  3. Biological motion

  4. Gestalt motion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gestalt motion is not a type of motion perception. It refers to the perception of objects as wholes, rather than as individual parts.

The perception of motion is primarily processed in which part of the brain?

  1. Frontal lobe

  2. Parietal lobe

  3. Temporal lobe

  4. Occipital lobe


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The occipital lobe, located at the back of the brain, is responsible for processing visual information, including motion perception.

The phenomenon where a stationary object appears to move when surrounded by moving objects is known as:

  1. Motion parallax

  2. Induced motion

  3. Apparent motion

  4. Biological motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Induced motion occurs when a stationary object appears to move due to the movement of surrounding objects.

The ability to perceive the direction and speed of moving objects is known as:

  1. Motion parallax

  2. Motion coherence

  3. Motion direction

  4. Motion speed


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Motion direction refers to the ability to perceive the direction in which an object is moving.

The perception of movement based on the relative motion of objects is known as:

  1. Motion parallax

  2. Relative motion

  3. Apparent motion

  4. Biological motion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Motion parallax is the perception of movement based on the relative motion of objects.

The perception of movement based on the changes in the position of an object over time is known as:

  1. Apparent motion

  2. Real motion

  3. Biological motion

  4. Gestalt motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Real motion is the perception of movement based on the changes in the position of an object over time.

The perception of movement based on the recognition of biological patterns, such as human or animal locomotion, is known as:

  1. Apparent motion

  2. Real motion

  3. Biological motion

  4. Gestalt motion


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Biological motion is the perception of movement based on the recognition of biological patterns.

The minimum speed at which an object must move in order to be perceived as moving is known as:

  1. Motion threshold

  2. Apparent motion threshold

  3. Biological motion threshold

  4. Gestalt motion threshold


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Motion threshold is the minimum speed at which an object must move in order to be perceived as moving.

The perception of movement in the absence of any physical movement is known as:

  1. Apparent motion

  2. Real motion

  3. Biological motion

  4. Illusory motion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Illusory motion is the perception of movement in the absence of any physical movement.

The perception of movement based on the grouping of individual elements into a coherent motion pattern is known as:

  1. Apparent motion

  2. Real motion

  3. Biological motion

  4. Gestalt motion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gestalt motion is the perception of movement based on the grouping of individual elements into a coherent motion pattern.

The perception of movement based on the changes in the size of an object as it moves towards or away from the observer is known as:

  1. Motion parallax

  2. Size constancy

  3. Apparent motion

  4. Biological motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Size constancy is the perception of movement based on the changes in the size of an object as it moves towards or away from the observer.

The perception of movement based on the changes in the shape of an object as it moves is known as:

  1. Motion parallax

  2. Shape constancy

  3. Apparent motion

  4. Biological motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Shape constancy is the perception of movement based on the changes in the shape of an object as it moves.

The perception of movement based on the changes in the color of an object as it moves is known as:

  1. Motion parallax

  2. Color constancy

  3. Apparent motion

  4. Biological motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Color constancy is the perception of movement based on the changes in the color of an object as it moves.

The perception of movement based on the changes in the texture of an object as it moves is known as:

  1. Motion parallax

  2. Texture constancy

  3. Apparent motion

  4. Biological motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Texture constancy is the perception of movement based on the changes in the texture of an object as it moves.

The perception of movement based on the changes in the brightness of an object as it moves is known as:

  1. Motion parallax

  2. Brightness constancy

  3. Apparent motion

  4. Biological motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Brightness constancy is the perception of movement based on the changes in the brightness of an object as it moves.
