Riccio and Stoffregen (1988) argued that dynamical properties of a surface of support influence the control of behavior. This implies that the kinematic form of events, including the movements of a behaving animal, will be influenced by the dynamics (e.g., rigidity, tilt, friction) of the surfaces on which they occur. For any behavior in which the execution is constrained (influenced) by a surface, the kinematics of the body should provide information about the dynamics of the surface. Such kinematics could be used for perception of action-relevant surface properties by the behaving animal or by observers who view the animal's behavior. We evaluated the latter possibility by presenting observers with point-light displays (Johansson, 1973) of an actor on rigid and deformable surfaces. In Experi- ment 1, observers identified support-surface deformability as the dimension of variability, selecting it from a variety of dynamical dimensions. In the remaining experiments observers differentiated the surfaces ac...
