Abstract
This paper presents some empirical findings and theoretical concepts pertaining to a problem that we and others in the Clark University Laboratories have been working on for a number of years. This is the problem of' the development of an essential feature of perception--space perception. In keeping with the approach we have been using for sometime, u e shall treat the development of space perception from a particular per-s pect ive-o-t.he organismic-developmental point of view He would Li ke to note at the outset that we have severely restricted our treatment of the development of the organismenvironment system serving to organize objects and their displacements s-patially.

This method of producing illusory movement offers a simple means of studying the of the sensory receptors in the semicircular canals, the reflexly produced nystagmus, and associated phenomena.
Quarterly Journal of Experimental PsychologyThe Origin of the Autokinetic Effect
58 Citations1963Richard L Gregory, O. L. Zangwill
It is concluded that the autokinetic effect is principally due to spontaneous minor fluctuations in the neural system which monitors the outward signals controlling eye movement.
ScienceAutokinetic Movement: Selective Manipulation of Directional Components by Image Stabilization
48 Citations1964Leonard Matin, G. Ernest MacKinnon
It is suggested that this result is consistent with an eye movement interpretation of autokinetic movement, and that the response patterns reported here are similar to those that might be expected from recent work describing cortical single unit movement detectors.

Six well-trained subjects reported their visual perceptions both during and following rotation while observing a moving target in the dark and in a lighted room, considered as a summation of the effects of real motion of the target, vestibular nystagmus, and the subjects' sensations of their own motion.
Journal of the American Academy of Child PsychiatrySOME ASPECTS OF A RESEARCH PROGRAM BASED ON AN ORGANISMIC-DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH TO COGNITION: EXPERIMENTS AND THEORY
22 Citations1964Seymour Wapner
This paper is restricted to a description of the research program on perception and other cognitive operations which Heinz Werner and I initiated at Clark University some fifteen years ago, embedded in an experimental-theoretical approach which the authors now refer to as organismic-developmental.

22 Citations1957Robert S. Liebert
The effect of this drug is significant because previous investigations have found that it produces primitive behavior in normal adults, and the problem has its roots in two lines of investigation; studies of perception viewed in terms of an organismic theory of behavior, viz., sensory-tonic field theory of perception.

Some evidence was found that the magnitude of changes found to occur under LSD-25 in normal male humans was reduced when LSD ingestion was preceded by progesterone ingestion.

A test procedure is presented which provides a measure of recovery from mental illness following somatotherapy, and as such, provides a prognostic tool that provides supportive evidence for conceptual additions to psychoanalytic theory.

The broadening of the clinical concept and the establishment of a solid basis of confirmed facts are particularly required, and the following observations may serve as a contribution.

Perception & PsychophysicsInduced autokinesis
15 Citations1967Leonard Brosgole
The egocentric location of a fixated visual stimulus was shifted away from the apparent median plane through induced movement, resulting in autokinesis toward the phenomenally straight-ahead position, which was used in demonstrating that apparent Egocentric displacement is sufficient for initiating autoksinesis.

13 Citations1968Seymour Wapner
It was found that with increase in age, the position of apparent vertical shifts from the side of body tilt to the side opposite tilt, and while the apparent location of longitudinal body axis deviates beyond true body tilt in all age groups, after 7 years there is a slight decrease in deviation followed by an accelerated increase after 13 years of age.

7 Citations1965J. Porzemsky, Seymour Wapner +1 more
It was demonstrated that experimentally-induced cognitive attitudes of fusion or “depolarization” and of separation of self and object significantly affect apparent location of fingertip and apparent Location of target (object perception), when S is instrumentally related to an object by pointing.
Perceptual and Motor SkillsDirectional Differences in Autokinesis Based on Stimulation of the Left versus the Right Eye
6 Citations1962Herbert F. Crovitz
Were this correct, monoci~lar foveal stimulation supplied by the pre-exposure fixation doc in the srudy of Crovicz and Daves (1962) may have elicited a tendency to eye movemenc in the direction of the viewing eye and the numerals may have served as a signal that the eyes could move.
Perception & PsychophysicsThe role of eye movements in the perception of visually induced autokinesis
6 Citations1968Leonard Brosgole, Robert M. Cristal +1 more
Changes in eye position were recorded physiologically while S experienced visually induced autokinesis and apparent motion was found to be based upon a change in phenomenal rather than retinal location.

This paper concerns itself with developmental sex differences in rightleft anisotropy in preadolescents and adolescents and finds indications that individuals may differ consistently in their mode of anisotropic distortion over a range of situations.
Perceptual and Motor SkillsEye Movements and the Visual Autokinetic Phenomenon
5 Citations1966John Marshall
The results suggest compensatory eye movements associated with the maintenance of single-point binocular fixation and consequent reduction of the disruptive effects of heterophorically stimulated fixation disparity, as the visual mechanism primarily responsible for the autokinetic phenomenon.
The American Journal of PsychologyAutokinesis and Felt Eye-Position
5 Citations1968Stephen Jordan
The experimental results indicate that autokinesis may be explained within the context of Duncker's theory of relative displacement, and an explanation of the shift in felt eye position based on a change in afferent stimulation impinging on the eye is proposed.

It was concluded that apparent egocentric displacement is sufficient for initiating autokinesis.

4 Citations1968Leonard Brosgole
An after-image was found to move autokinetically in the absence of voluntary eye movements, and its direction of motion coincided with that of a normally viewed stimulus.
