A modified version of the Ternus display was used to assess the relative effects of element position cues on reports of group and end-to-end movement. In this display, two rows of stimulus elements are joined by connecting lines. In one version of the display, the connecting lines remain stationary across frames, facilitating the interpretation that the associated stimulus elements also remain stationary. In another version of the display, one end of the connecting lines shifts horizontally from frame to fame, facilitating the interpretation that the associated stimulus elements have also shifted. The experiment showed that when the connecting lines remain stationary, reports of end-to-end movement increase, regardless of the interstimulus interval (ISI) at which the frames alternate. When the connecting lines shift, reports of group movement increase, regardless of ISI. Theoretical interpretations of the results involving both relatively low-level motion signals and higher order perceptual influences are considered.
