Preferred term

animal motion perception  

Definition(s)

  • Most animals move around in their environment, and through evolutionary time, this has resulted in specializations in their sensory systems and brains, to detect motion, as described in this entry. These patterns of movement can occur as moving images in vision, as moving sounds in hearing, and as moving tactile patterns in touch. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Animal Motion Perception]
