Korte's third law of apparent motion

ID: korte-s-third-law-of-apparent-motion

Korte's third law of apparent motion, also known as Korte's law or the Korte effect, relates to the perception of motion in visual stimuli, particularly in the field of psychology and visual perception. The law suggests that when two stationary objects are presented in close temporal succession, the observer perceives the first object as having moved toward the second object. This phenomenon occurs due to the brain's interpretation of the timing and position of the objects, leading to a misperception of motion.
