Stereo viewing upsets cinematic continuity
Filmmakers have established editing rules that aim to create cinematic continuity across filmic cuts, thereby avoiding viewers' confusion despite the abrupt changes in perception.In our present project, we investigated the impact of 3D films, as opposed to 2D films, on the salience of filmic cuts.We employed a cut detection task and focused on within-scene cuts with mere changes in camera perspective.We presented short video clips to our particip…
Effect of Gaze on Personal Space
In East Asian cultures, people maintain larger interpersonal distances than in European or American cultures. We investigated whether a preference for averted gaze might be responsible for this difference. Typically, when measuring interpersonal distance, participants are asked to maintain eye contact. This request might bias findings due to cultural differences in the interpretation of direct gaze. We had Japanese and German participants adjust …
Effects of symmetry, texture, and monocular viewing on geographical slant estimation
The CSI-education effect
Internal consistency predicts attractiveness in biological motion walkers
Gender Differences and Similarities in Receptivity to Sexual Invitations
Age-Correlated Incremental Consideration of Velocity Information in Relative Time-to-Arrival Judgments
One hundred fifty-one children and 43 adults judged which of 2 cartoon birds would be the first to arrive at a common finish line. Objects moved unidirectionally along parallel trajectories, either at the same or different speeds, and disappeared at different distances from the goal. Overall, 9–10-year-old children performed as well as adults, but 4–5- and 6–8-year-olds erred significantly more often. On trials for which distance to goal at disap…
Looking into Pictures
Interdisciplinary explorations of the implications of recent developments in vision theory for our understanding of the nature of pictorial representation and picture perception. The last half of the twentieth century witnessed dramatic changes in the theory of vision. In particular, the "eye-as-camera" metaphor that had long dominated the field no longer seemed tenable. Somewhat surprisingly, however, the metaphor has maintained its appeal in th…
Are Events and Affordances Commensurate Terms
In this article, I argue that the dichotomy between events and affordances as Stoffregen (target article, this issue) devises is unwarranted and potentially misleading. I challenge the notion that the role of the actor distinguishes events from affordances in any useful way. The research labeled event perception is neither less ecological nor qualitatively different from research on affordances. Instead, the main distinction is constituted by aff…
The Failings of Three Event Perception Theories
Empirical research on the perception of physical events is rarely designed to test a particular theory. The research often fails to be embedded in a larger theoretical context or it is carried out with the implicit goal to support a particular theoretical approach. I argue that this is not very productive. While three theories are relevant for our understanding of events, their limits have rarely been addressed. I expose these limits. The three t…
