Abstract(in English) Two identical visual objects moving across each other can be perceived either the objects streaming through or bouncing off each other. Sekular, Sekular, & Lau (1997) found that the bouncing event percept can be facilitated by presenting a brief sound at the point of coincidence of the two objects. However, Kawachi & Gyoba (in preparation) found that even when the sound is presented, streaming percept can strongly be induced by the presence of a nearby moving object that is irrelevant to the stream/bounce event. Here we examined a possibility that event perception can be altered by the amodal representation of the event-irrelevant object during occlusion. As a result, the temporally occluded moving object strongly facilitated streaming percept. By contrast, when the motion trajectory of the occluded object was spatiotemporally discontinuous, the alternation of event perception did not occur. These results indicate that, when the representation of the moving object is amodally persisting during occlusion, the maintained representation can alter the percept of a nearby audiovisual event.
