Abstract(in English) This study aims to investigate how visual system solves a correspondence problem between an object and its cast shadow by a series of psychopysical experiments. We created the animations with one object (a ball) and two cast shadows in which trajectory and motion of the cast shadows and an object were manipulated. Subjects were instructed to respond apparent motion of a ball and perceived height of the ball relative to the floor by the computer's mouse. Most subjects perceived that the cast shadow closest to a ball as a ball's shadow. However, when object or cast shadow were blinking, correspondence between the ball and the cast shadow depends on such a dynamic feature rather on a relative distance between the ball and the cast shadow.
