Abstract: Infants less than 1 year old are known to preferentially look at pictures of motion illusion induced by luminance gradation. However, the mechanisms underlying infant’s perception of motion illusion remain unclear. The current study analyzed the eye movement patterns of infants perceiving a motion illusion induced by stationary luminance gradations (a derivative of the Fraser-Wilcox illusion). Infants produced the same movement patterns that increase the magnitude of illusory motion in adults. We conclude that infants and adults similarly perceive motion illusion.

日本語によるコメント: 「静止画が動いて見える錯視」の一種を6か月児に提示し,その眼球運動パターンを分析しました。実験の結果,成人と同様の眼球運動パターンが得られました。本結果から我々は6か月児も成人と同様に錯視を知覚している可能性を指摘しています。
