abstract="Studied auditory illusions of movement in terms of 3 problems: (1) possibility of auditory illusions of movement (2) the relation between exposure and interval; and (3) effect of difference in the intensity of 2 stimuli. The stimuli consisted of telephone receivers in series with a tuning fork on a 5-volt circuit. The 5 Ss participating were made to hear 2 successive sounds intermixed with broken movement, sometimes moving sounds mixed with stationary ones. Results indicate that: (1) the presentation of 2 similar faint auditory stimuli in quick succession, under certain conditions, yielded an impression of a sound moving in the direction of the actual temporal succession of the stimuli (2) there was an inverse relation between length of the period of exposure and of the interval between the stimuli; and (3) if the intensity of the 2nd stimulus was greater than that of the 1st, the apparent movement was often in an inverse direction.
