Abstract
Although its absolute motion is the same, the path of a single moving point is often perceived differently when viewed alone than when viewed as a part of a dynamic configuration of many points. A point's perceived motion path depends on the configuration in which it is embedded, with different configurations producing different perceived paths. The results of our research suggest that the perceptual system selects the motion path of the configural centroid as the common motion for curvilinearly bounded rolling shapes.
