Height perception influenced by texture gradient.

abstract：:Tempo is one factor that is frequently associated with the expressive nature of a piece of music. Composers often indicate the tempo of a piece of music through the use of numerical markings (beats min(-1)) and subjective terms (adagio, allegro). Three studies were conducted to assess whether listeners were able to ma...

The use of spatially complex patterns (random-dot patterns) has been suggested to eliminate the former strategy allowing examination of the movement dete...
