Originally published in 1963, this is a classic work on the
psychology of perception. By means of suitable patterns on a partly
concealed rotating disc Michotte was able to give the impression of
objects in movement; and where certain conditions of speed,
position, and time-interval were satisfied, his subjects received
the impression of a causal interaction between two objects - for
example, the impression that one object has 'bumped into' another
(the 'Launching Effect') or is carrying it along (the 'Entraining
Effect'). In a further group of experiments Michotte studies the
conditions in which moving objects look as though they are alive. A
large number of experiments are described, and on the basis of them
Michotte formulates a theory as to the conditions in which causal
impressions occur. He also compares his own views on causality with
those of Hume, Maine de Biran, and Piaget.
