Abstract
The current study investigated whether the display of a repeatedly blinking object in place can give rise to a percept of apparent motion, when it is accompanied by a large occluder object. The result shows that apparent motion of an object behind the occluder can be observed when image cues for occlusion are given and the temporal interval between stimulus onsets is large enough. This result suggests that apparent motion can generate the perception of occlusion so that a physical sequence of objects coming into and going out of existence turns to be perceived as coming into and going out of sight.
