Bridging the Gap: possible roles and contributions of representational momentum

摘要: Memory for the position of a moving target is often displaced in direction anticipated motion, and this has been referred to as representational momentum. Such displacement might aid spatial localization by bridging gap between perception action, reflect second-order isomorphism subjective consequences environmentally invariant physical principles functional architecture mental representation that can be modulated an observer’s expectations (e.g., will change its heading) or presence nontarget stimuli landmarks). Representational momentum related types properties world representation, so consideration contribute important component contemporary psychophysics, also broaden reach psychophysics include numerous topics not usually considered within naive physics, boundary extension, flash-lag effect, aesthetics, imagery).
