Rival, Christina; Olivier, Isabelle; Ceyte, Hadrien; Bard, Chantal – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2004
The aim of the two present experiments was to examine the ontogenetic development of the dissociation between perception and action in children using the Duncker illusion. In this illusion, a moving background alters the perceived direction of target motion. Targets were held stationary while appearing to move in an induced displacement. In…
