Improved localization of moving targets with prior knowledge of direction of target motion.
In dynamic environments in which many stimulus elements are in motion, visual search may depend upon specific characteristics of target motion that are known in advance. When stimulus elements move in various directions but each element can move in only one direction, prior knowledge of the target's direction of motion reduces search time.
