Abstract
It was the purpose of this study to investigate differences between visual perception of static (non-moving) and dynamic (moving) two-dimensional objects at several ages. This study specifically assessed the ability of four age groups to perceive figure-ground: Elementary 1 (age 6 to 7 yr.); Elementary 6 (age 11 to 13 yr.); College (age 18 to 22 yr.); Elderly Adult (age 66 to 79 yr.). A total of 169 Ss were tested. A test of visual perception of figure-ground was selected and adapted to a dynamic condition. Results showed there was a significant difference between performance on the static and dynamic tests of visual perception across all age levels, with fewer errors made on the dynamic test. There was a significant difference in performance between ages. It was concluded that there is a difference between static and dynamic visual perception of figure-ground at the ages studied and that perception of figure-ground tends to improve with age.
