Description

Originally published in 1963, this landmark psychology text by Michotte explores how the human mind perceives causal relationships between moving objects. Using rotating discs with partially concealed patterns, Michotte demonstrated that observers experience the impression of causal interactions when objects move at specific speeds, positions, and time intervals. His pioneering experiments document the 'Launching Effect', where subjects perceive one object bumping into another, and the 'Entraining Effect', where one object appears to carry another along. This foundational work in perception psychology remains essential for understanding how we visually interpret causality and object interactions. Part of Routledge's Psychology Library Editions series, it presents rigorous experimental methodology and detailed analysis of the conditions that shape our perception of cause and effect in the physical world.

Key Features

Michotte's classic 1963 study on how humans perceive causal interactions between moving objects using experimental rotating disc apparatus.

Demonstrates the Launching Effect, where observers perceive one object bumping into or striking another based on speed and timing conditions.

Explores the Entraining Effect through controlled experiments showing how subjects perceive one object carrying or dragging another.

Part of Routledge's Psychology Library Editions series, preserving foundational perception psychology research for academic study.

Examines the specific conditions of speed, position, and time-interval that trigger the impression of causality in visual perception.
