Relative locations among moving spots and visual vector analysis.
How the direction of apparent movement changed with the relative locations among spots was quantitatively measured by the method proposed by Hochberg and Fallon. From the vector-extraction model (proposed by Johansson) expanded as, "The vector to be subtracted depends on the relative location." and the directions of apparent movement, the vector to be subtracted was calculated at each relative location. Consequently data showed (i) the region in which the directions of spots in motion are affected by the frame is finite, and (ii) the degree of the influence is not iniform in the region but is rapidly reduced as spots go away from the frame.
