Vector analysis and process combinations in motion perception: A reply to Wallach, Becklen, and Nitzberg (1985).

Comments on a proposed alternative to the present author's theory of perceptual vector analysis in motion perception, which was advanced by H. Wallach et al (see record 1986-00251-001). It is argued that Wallach et al have not taken the qualitative difference between their theory and vector analysis into account and that they employed an early and outdated vector theory in their study. Therefore, the conclusion by Wallach et al that their theory is superior to vector analysis is unwarranted. (23 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
