By means of suitable patterns on a partly concealed rotating disc Michotte was able to give the impression of objects in movement; and where certain conditions of speed, position, and time-interval were satisfied, his subjects received the impression of a causal interaction between two objects - for example, the impression that one object has 'bumped into' another (the 'Launching Effect') or is carrying it along (the 'Entraining Effect'). In a further group of experiments Michotte studies the conditions in which moving objects look as though they are alive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA large number of experiments are described, and on the basis of them Michotte formulates a theory as to the conditions in which causal impressions occur. He also compares his own views on causality with those of Hume, Maine de Biran, and Piaget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Michotte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138698423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138698420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.91d","brand":"Albert Michotte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072079544575,"sku":"9781138698420","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c092007-c6e0-431e-bd7e-406a9afe8be3.jpg?v=1753415732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-perception-of-causality-albert-michotte-9781138698420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
