Increasing reading speed by using colours: issues concerning reliability and specificity, and their theoretical and practical implications.

abstract：:Classical apparent motion stimuli exhibit an inherent ambiguity with respect to the onsets and offsets of the stimulus elements. Sigman and Rock (1974, Perception 3 9-28) presented evidence suggesting that occlusion cues are used to resolve this ambiguity. We present results from experiments designed to further test p...
