Lateral differences in tactile directional perception

Neuropsychologia, 1978
Abstract Between-hands differences in the tactile perception of direction were assessed in normal righthanded subjects by a unimodal tactile matching task. The left hand superiority found in earlier studies employing a crossmodal tactile-visual matching procedure was again shown in this investigation.

Directional perception of distributed sound sources

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011
The perception of spatially distributed sound sources was investigated by conducting two listening experiments in anechoic conditions with 13 loudspeakers evenly distributed in the frontal horizontal plane emitting incoherent noise signals. In the first experiment, widely distributed sound sources with gaps in their distribution emitted pink noise. The

How to Interpret ‘Direct Perception’

1992
Abstract Do our perceptual experiences enable us to directly perceive external objects? What is it to perceive something “directly”? Some philosophers have failed to avoid running together an epistemological with a non-epistemological way of understanding the phrase ‘direct perception’ (or ‘directly perceives’).

A continuing debate in language acquisition research is whether there are critical periods (CPs) in development during which the system is most responsive to environmental input. Recent advances in neurobiology provide a mechanistic explanation of CPs, with the balance between excitatory and inhibitory processes establishing the onset and molecular ...

Perception of Force Direction

2017
In a previous study, we found that the accuracy of human haptic perception of force direction is not very high. We also found an effect of physical force direction on the error subjects made, resulting in ‘error patterns’. In the current study, we assessed the between- and within-subject variation of these patterns.

Empathy as Direct Perception

2019
This paper defends a perceptual account of empathy in opposition to purely cognitive theories on how we grasp the emotion of another. Empathy has to start with the perception of another human being before us. However, the often favored simulation argument (in which we imagine "what it's like" to be "in their shoes") seems to propose that perception ...
