Fig 1.
Example of the animations used in Experiment 1 (four frames).
The blue arrow was added in this figure for illustrative purposes, to show the motion direction of the disk.
Fig 2.
Observed probability of physical bounce responses (blue curves), animated motion responses (red curves), and other responses (grey curves) for the one bouncing cycle animations of Experiment 1.
The shaded area around each curve represents the 95% confidence interval for binomial variables. The horizontal dashed line highlights the .50 response probability threshold.
Fig 3.
Observed probability of physical bounce responses (blue curves), animated motion responses (red curves), and other responses (grey curves) for the three bouncing cycle animations of Experiment 1.
The shaded area around each curve represents the 95% confidence interval for binomial variables. The horizontal dashed line highlights the .50 response probability threshold.
Table 1.
ANOVA results (Experiment 1) for physical bounce responses, separately for one bouncing cycle and three bouncing cycles.
Table 2.
ANOVA results (Experiment 1) for animated motion responses, separately for one bouncing cycle and three bouncing cycles.
Fig 4.
Observed probability of physical bounce responses (blue curves), animated motion responses (red curves), and other responses (grey curves) for the four animations types of Experiment 2, as a function of the delay. The shaded area around each curve represents the 95% confidence interval for binomial variables. The horizontal dashed line highlights the .50 response probability threshold. Panels A and B: results for one bouncing cycle animations. Panels C and D: results for the three bouncing cycles animations. Panels A and C: results for C = 0.75. Panels B and D: results for C = 1.25.
