Ternus效应涉及一种多元素刺激，根据各种刺激条件，这种刺激可以导致两种不同的明显运动感知。自从Ternus在1926年讨论这一现象以来，许多研究者都试图解释它。我们研究了Ternus效应的解释历史，并表明它们已经发展到与Ternus自己的想法非常相似的当代理论立场。此外，我们描述了一个新的实验表明，理论上的立场，强调元素分组和组内元素的身份可以预测某些刺激操作的Ternus效应的影响。
The Ternus effect involves a multi-element stimulus that can lead to either of two different percepts of apparent movement depending upon a variety of stimulus conditions. Since Ternus's 1926 discussion of this phenomenon, many researchers have attempted to explain it. We examine the history of explanations of the Ternus effect and show that they have evolved to contemporary theoretical positions that are very similar to Ternus's own ideas. Additionally, we describe a new experiment showing that theoretical positions that emphasize element grouping and element identity within groups can predict the effects of certain stimulus manipulations on the Ternus effect.
