Abstract
"Experiments reported by previous investigators indicated a deficit in the perception of apparent motion by organic individuals. The hypothesis that the deficit is due to lowered organizational ability has been advanced. The degree of organizational ability of the individual would be reflected in the threshold for dissociation of Beta apparent motion into component parts of detail and Omega movement. Organics, schizophrenics, lobotomy cases, and controls were examined for threshold of Beta dissociation. It is concluded that the threshold for loss of Beta apparent motion can differentiate between certain clinical groups, and it is inferred that these differences are due to organic or functional loss of organizing capacity of the cerebral cortex as a whole rendering it less able to synthesize sensory data.".
