Summary

• performance in the temporal hemified was slightly superior to that in the nasal hemifield and depended on the orientation as well as on the direction of the motion.
• perception of horizontal motion was better than that of vertical motion.
• in spite of large variations, centrifugal motion was significantly more readily perceived than centripetal motion.

Results

• results were generally better for horizontal than for vertical stimulus motion
• results obtained at positions on the horizontal meridian appear to be better for motion toward the center (centripetal) than for that away from the center of gaze (centrifugal)
• results obtained for centripetal motion were better than those obtained for centrifugal motion at all positions of the visual field above and below the center of gaze, both on the vertical meridian and at the oblique positions
