Abstract

An oblong rectangle moving horizontally shows decrease in its perceived length parallel to the moving difrection, when the moving speed increases up to a certain point. Present study concerns with the quantitative relationship between the perceived size of a moving figure and its moving speed.
A black rectangle projected on a screen moves horizontally. The speed ranges from 32.2°/sec to 120.6°/sec. A method of reproduction is used to estimate the perceived size of a moving figure. Twelve students serve as Ss. Possible bias owing to the method used is also measured. Four out of five stimuli used tend to show a similar tendency when possible bias is corrected. An equation showing the relationship between perceived size and moving speed is suggested.
