The explanation of the beta-apparent movement remains open. In earlier works, the writer has investigated various manifestations of the oscillating apparent movements, for example, in connection with a straight line and a circle, and has given an electronic explanation of the phenomenon. The present paper demonstrates that the beta-apparent movement seems to be classifiable as one of the oscillating forms for apparent movement, and we have an approach to give and explanation based on the aforementioned electronic working-model.
