Talk:Biological motion

this article is too short. it doesnt tell me much information. if it had more info i would be more educated about the topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Am2493 (talk • contribs) 02:24, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

This article does not include an adequate amount of specific information or explanation. To edit this article, I will include information about Cutting and Kozlowski's point-light experiment.

The experiment performed by Cutting and Kozlowski involved six participants who were previously acquainted. Small lights were secured to the participant's elbows, knees, wrists, and ankles. Cutting and Kozlowski took videos of each participant as they walked, and then showed the videos a few months later to the participants. The goal of this experiment was to see if these friends could tell which one of them was in each video just by the way they walked. The experiment found that individuals are better at identifying themselves compared to others. Maspivack (talk) 20:36, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. It feels to me as though this article fairly portrays a neutral position about the topic, though that may even just be because of the nature of discussing biological motion. In general, however, the article unfortunately still does not come to a level of specificity that one would hope for such an article. I think a good place to start would be referencing more of the studies and experiments that have been made in the area which will serve to make the article a better source of knowledge of the subject.

I would like to add to the experiments section. To start, I've found these sources we had a discussion on in class:

I would like to improve on the article's definition of biological motion to make it more specific and accurate. Maspivack (talk) 23:09, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Hiya, I'll be revamping the article. I'll be fleshing out the history, tweaking the experiments section for cohesiveness and to make findings more clear, adding sections on Point Light Displays, Action Perception and Understanding, and biological motion in sign languages. I'll also create a gif to show what point light display stimuli looks like. I'll be using a couple of review papers along with select articles. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see.Athena.PEN (talk) 13:38, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
