What this test measures:
Motion prediction is your ability to mentally simulate where a moving object will be after it leaves your sight, accounting for its direction, speed, and any physics in play (acceleration, curving, wall bounces). This is essential for sports, driving, and spatial reasoning.
How it works:
- Press Start Test (or Space) to begin
- A circle appears and moves across the screen. Motion can be straight with bounces, curved, or spiral depending on your settings
- The circle moves at constant speed, accelerates, or decelerates based on your chosen speed variation
- It's visible for the selected duration (0.6s, 1.5s, or 2.5s), then disappears
- Click where you predict the circle will be after the prediction time (1s, 2s, or 3s)
- The circle keeps moving with the same physics during the invisible period — curves continue curving, acceleration continues, wall bounces happen
- The closer your click to the actual future position, the higher your score
- Press Pause (or Space) to pause/resume at any time
Settings:
- Total Trials: 10–30 per session
- Prediction Time: How far into the future you predict (1s, 2s, 3s, or random)
- Base Speed: Slow / Medium / Fast
- Motion Type (Advanced): Straight+Bounce, Curved, Spiral, or Random
- Speed Variation (Advanced): Constant, Accelerating, Decelerating, or Random
- Visible Duration (Advanced): How long you get to see the ball before it disappears
