Eye Movements in Visual Duration Perception: Disentangling Stimulus from Time in Predecisional Processes

Perceptual latencies are shorter for motion towards the fovea than for motion away
1Institute of Physiology, Sofia, Bulgaria.
Abstract:
Subjects had to align a brief test flash with a peripheral steady reference target during ocular pursuit, or with a moving reference target during steady eye fixation. The performance was determined by the direction of movement, of the reference target image on the retina--towards or away from fovea. The data are explained by the hypothesis that the passage of a retinal locus by a moving target image is experienced faster when the image moves foveopetally, regardless of whether the passage is caused by real target movement or by ocular pursuit.

Perceptual Constancy
Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...
