Categorical perception of tactile distance [PDF]

open access: yesCognition, 2014
The tactile surface forms a continuous sheet covering the body. And yet, the perceived distance between two touches varies across stimulation sites. Perceived tactile distance is larger when stimuli cross over the wrist, compared to when both fall on either the hand or the forearm.

Distance Perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Distance perception refers to a process in which an observer perceives an interval between two points in space. The interval does not have to be linear, but perception of a straight-line distance has been most extensively studied. The distance can be defined between the observer and an external object (egocentric distance) or between two external ...

Counting distance: Effects of egocentric distance on numerical perception. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Numerical value is long known to be associated with a variety of magnitude representations, such as size, time and space. The present study focused on the interactive relations of numerical magnitude with a spatial factor which is dominant in everyday ...

Individual differences in distance perception [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009
Distance perception is among the most pervasive mental phenomena and the oldest research topics in behavioural science. However, we do not understand well the most pervasive finding of distance perception research, that of large individual differences.

The Role of Vision in Auditory Distance Perception [PDF]

open access: yesPerception, 2012
In humans, multisensory interaction is an important strategy for improving the detection of stimuli of different nature and reducing the variability of response. It is known that the presence of visual information affects the auditory perception in the horizontal plane (azimuth), but there are few researches that study the influence of vision in the ...

Auditory environmental context affects visual distance perception [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
In this article, we show that visual distance perception (VDP) is influenced by the auditory environmental context through reverberation-related cues.

Learning and exposure affect environmental perception less than evolutionary navigation costs. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Most behaviors are conditional upon successful navigation of the environment, which depends upon distance perception learned over repeated trials. Unfortunately, we understand little about how learning affects distance perception-especially in the most ...

Perception of Tactile Distance on the Back [PDF]

open access: yesPerception, 2021
The perceived distance between two touches is anisotropic on many parts of the body. Generally, tactile distances oriented across body width are perceived as larger than distances oriented along body length, though the magnitude of such biases differs substantially across the body. In this study, we investigated tactile distance perception on the back.

Distance Perception in the Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2

open access: yesFrontiers in Virtual Reality, 2022
Distances in virtual environments (VEs) viewed on a head-mounted display (HMD) are typically underperceived relative to the intended distance. This paper presents an experiment comparing perceived egocentric distance in a real environment with that in a ...

Distance perception characteristics of drivers in tunnel environment

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent Construction, 2023
This study investigates the characteristics of distance perception among drivers in tunnel sections in comparison to those of outside environments. An experimental approach is employed to analyze the differences and accuracy of distance perception in ...
