Multiple sources of information and time-to-contact judgments
Four experiments examined how the visual system deals with multiple information sources for perceiving dynamic events. Two tau-type optical variables, one defined by the expanding object's image and the other defined by the expanding angular extent composed of the line of sight and the object's shadow, were manipulated in time-to-contact judgments. When the information specified by both variabl...
متن کاملCoarse-grained information dominates fine-grained information in judgments of time-to-contact from retinal flow
To investigate the relative importance of fine- and coarse-grained structure in the analysis of retinal flow, subjects made estimates of time-to-contact from random dot kinematograms depicting movement towards a flat, sparsely textured surface. Individual display elements moved smoothly away from each other while expanding smoothly in size. By artificially manipulating the rate at which the ind...
متن کاملUsing advice from multiple sources to revise and improve judgments
How might people revise their opinions on the basis of multiple pieces of advice? What sort of gains could be obtained from rules for using advice? In the present studies judges first provided their initial estimates for a series of questions; next they were presented with several (2, 4, or 8) opinions from an ecological pool of advisory estimates (Experiment 1), or with artificial advice (Expe...
متن کاملThe time course of estimating time-to-contact: Switching between sources of information
The different sources of information that can be used to estimate time-to-contact may have different degrees of reliability across time. For example, after a given presentation or display time, an absolute change of angular size can be more reliable than the corresponding estimation of the rate of angular expansion (e.g. motion information). One could then expect systematic biases in the observ...
متن کاملThe impact of spatiotemporal sampling on time-to-contact judgments.
When motion in the frontoparallel plane is temporally sampled, it is often perceived to be slower than its continuous counterpart. This finding stands in contrast to humans' ability to extrapolate and anticipate constant-velocity motion. We investigated whether this sampling bias generalizes to motion in the sagittal plane (i.e., objects approaching the observer). We employed a paradigm in whic...
