Abstract
The independent autokinesis of the components of a complex pattern was a rather common phenomenon. The direction of such independent motion was placed under E's control by use of an induced autokinesis paradigm. A sequence of related eye-movement studies showed that, while S divided his attention between the various parts of the pattern, the apparent motion of each of the components was not related to the onset of optic nystagmus. Therefore, a possible local-sign interpretation of the effect was rejected.
