The autokinetic effect is an optical illusion where a stationary point of light appears to move in the absence of external reference points. When individuals are in a dark environment, their eyes cannot perceive a fixed reference, leading to perceived motion in a stationary light. This phenomenon is a classic example of visual ambiguity and is often used in social psychology experiments. The autokinetic effect has been studied for its relevance to understanding how individuals in groups might influence each other's perceptions, as the lack of a clear reference point allows for the influence of social cues on individual judgment.
