“…Age-related changes in integration of motion signals may contribute to the reduced effect of transient occlusion on the bouncing/streaming percept in older subjects. It is interesting to note that older adults also show weaker representational momentum for motion (Piotrowski and Jakobson, 2011), a phenomenon that may be related to the effects observed here. More broadly, age-related differences in internal noise and calculation efficiency of motion detectors may affect both intra- and inter-modal effects (Bennett et al, 1999, 2007; Betts et al, 2007; Casco et al, 2012).…”

The perception of naturalistic events relies on the ability to integrate information from multiple sensory systems, an ability that may change with healthy aging. When two objects move toward and then past one another, their trajectories are perceptually ambiguous: the objects may seem to stream past one another or bounce off one another. Previous research showed that auditory or visual events that occur at the time of disks’ coincidence could bias the percept toward bouncing or streaming. We exploited this malleable percept to assay age-related changes in the integration of multiple inter- and intra-modal cues. The disks’ relative luminances were manipulated to produce stimuli strongly favoring either bouncing or streaming, or to produce ambiguous motion (equal luminances). A sharp sound coincident with the disks’ overlap increased both groups’ perception of bouncing, but did so significantly less for older subjects. An occluder’s impact on motion perception varied with its duration: a long duration occluder promoted streaming in both groups; a brief occluder promoted bouncing in younger subjects, but not older ones. Control experiments demonstrated that the observed differences between younger and older subjects resulted from neither age-related changes in retinal illuminance nor age-related changes in hearing, pointing to weakened inter- and intra-modal integration with aging. These changes could contribute to previously demonstrated age-related perceptual and memory deficits.

“…The sample size calculation was performed using G*power 3.1 (Faul et al, 2007). According to Piotrowski and Jakobson (2011), implicit RM is larger in younger adults than in older adults, with an effect size of d = 0.69 ( f = 0.345). Considering the differences in the paradigms used, the present study used a more conservative effect size of d = 0.5 ( f = 0.25) as a reference for the a priori analyses.…”

“…They found no distortion in the motion extrapolation of older drivers. In addition, another study explored the RM effect in 14 young people and 14 older people (age > 65 years) using the classic implied motion paradigm (Piotrowski & Jakobson, 2011). In their experiment, three rectangles with different orientations were presented sequentially, leading to an implicit clockwise rotation.…”

“…This implies that observers tend to perceptually “see” the vanishing point of a moving object at a future location that the moving object would reach. Thus far, many studies have comprehensively examined the nature of RM, providing evidence for various aspects of its perceptual and cognitive characteristics such as stimulus velocity ( Finke et al, 1986 ; Getzmann and Lewald, 2009 ; Feinkohl et al, 2014 ; Merz et al, 2019 ), eye movements ( Kerzel, 2000 ), attention ( Hayes and Freyd, 2002 ; Kerzel, 2003 ; Hubbard et al, 2009 ), development ( Hubbard et al, 1999 ; Perry et al, 2008 ; Shirai et al, 2018 ; Mori et al, 2022 ), and aging aspects ( Piotrowski and Jakobson, 2011 ). Previous studies on RM generally provided evidence for forward displacement in the perceptual or memory representations of a moving object (see Hubbard, 2005 , 2014 , 2015 , for reviews).…”

Relationships between the magnitude of representational momentum and the spatial and temporal anticipatory judgments of opponent’s kicks in taekwondo

For successful actions in a fast, dynamic environment such as sports, a quick successful anticipation of a forthcoming environmental state is essential. However, the perceptual mechanisms involved in successful anticipation are not fully understood. This study examined the relationships between the magnitude of representational momentum (RM) as a forward displacement of the memory representation of the final position of a moving object (which implies that observers perceptually “see” a near future forthcoming dynamic environmental state) and the temporal and spatial anticipatory judgments of the opponent’s high or middle kicks in taekwondo. Twenty-seven participants (university taekwondo club members and non-members) observed video clips of taekwondo kicks that vanished at one of 10 frame positions prior to the kick impact and performed three tasks consecutively: anticipatory coincidence timing (CT) with the arrival of kick impact, judgment of the kick type (high and middle kicks) by forced choice, and judgment of the vanishing frame position (measuring RM). Our results showed significant group effects for the number of correct kick-type judgments and the judgment threshold for kick-type choice (kick-typeJT), which was estimated in terms of individual psychometric function curves. A significant correlation was found between the magnitude of RM (estimated at kick-typeJT) and kick-typeJT, but not between the CT errors (estimated at kick-typeJT) and kick-typeJT. This indicates that the magnitude of RM may play an influential role in quick kick-type judgments, but not in coincidence timing while observing an opponent’s kick motion. These findings suggest that subjective anticipatory perception or judgment of the future spatial state is vital to anticipatory actions under severe time constraints.
