Hubbard Psicología If a moving stimulus (i.e., launcher) contacts a stationary target thatsubsequently begins to move, observers attribute motion of the target to thelauncher (Michotte, 1946/1963). In experiments reported here, a stationarylauncher adjacent to the target appeared or vanished and displacement inmemory for the position of the target was measured. Forward displacementof moving targets was less (a) when launchers appeared than when launchersvanished, and (b) when targets moved in the direction of implied impetusthan when targets moved in a direction orthogonal to implied impetus.Whether launchers appeared or vanished did not influence displacement oftargets that remained stationary. The data were consistent with thehypothesis that forward displacement of the target decreased when observersattributed target motion to an impetus resulting from gamma movement ofthe launcher that was imparted to the target. More generally, the data wereconsistent with an impetus-based explanation of Michottes launching effect(e.g., Hubbard & Ruppel, 2002), and suggest the apparent perception ofcausality is cognitively mediated rather than direct. 2005 artículo científico 0211-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16926115 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=169 Psicológica application/pdf Universitat de València Psicológica (España) Num.1 Vol.26 |
