One basic physical law of our world is “solidity”: objects do not run through each other. Is solidity embedded in visual processing? More precisely, when viewing ambiguous motion displays, does our visual system automatically use solidity to compute motion? Experiment 3’s results suggest that the solidity constraint biases the interpretation of an ambiguously moving ball. The present experiment investigates how size variation of the ball influences this effect.
