Inferring the stiffness of unfamiliar objects from optical, shape, and motion cues.

abstract：:Although observers can discriminate visual targets with long exposures from otherwise-identical targets with shorter exposures, temporally overlapping distracters with an intermediate exposure can produce a striking degradation in performance. This new finding suggests that observers can only estimate one duration at ...
