Question

John is looking at a sign that appears to have text scrolling across it. In actuality, the sign is made up of stationary lights programmed to flash on and off in a way that looks like letters scrolling across the sign. John's perceptual experience is called _____ movement.

Answer 1

Answer: Apparent

Explanation:

Apparent movement is the motion which is in the form of optical illusion in which an object or item appears as if they are moving or are in motion. Flashing of any still or constant image in rapid motion at different places makes it appear as if they are moving from one location to another location.

According to the question,John is experiencing apparent movement in which scrolled text is seen by him but actually its the stationary lights are flashed in on and off motion to make it look like it's in motion.Therefore which is creating optical illusion for him.
