A number of writers have pointed out, in detailed studies, that the long-quoted mechanism for motion perception in cinema, 'persistence of vision', an effect usually attributed to a 'defect' of the eye, (or in some accounts the 'eye-brain combination'), was an archaic concept long left behind by psychologists and physiologists specialising in perception. Most film writers were (and still are) unaware of, or unconvinced by, these writings, and continue to write of persistence of vision as being the mechanism by which we see motion pictures. They argue, when challenged, that the term is 'simple to understand', 'elegant' even 'poetic'. They are either unaware or unconcerned that it is incorrect. The word 'persistence' has a meaning, and it seems that we do not perceive motion pictures through any kind of persistence, either in the eye or in the brain. So let's take a look at what those researchers wrote back around 1980, as their work is still valid (though still largely ignored) today. http://www.grand-illusions.com/articles/persistence_of_vision/ Note that the cited article is three pages.
