The Effect of Temporal Perception on Weight Perception [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 A successful catch of a falling ball requires an accurate estimation of the timing for when the ball hits the hand. In a previous experiment in which participants performed ball-catching task in virtual reality environment, we accidentally found that the weight of a falling ball was perceived differently when the timing of ball load force to the hand ...

Weight Perception, Weight Stigma Concerns, and Overeating. [PDF]
Obesity (Silver Spring), 2018 ObjectivePerceiving one's own weight status as being overweight is a likely motivation for weight loss.

WEIGHT PERCEPTION IN NEONATE INFANTS
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2006 A recent research revealed the capacity of the newborn to haptically detect, the weight of an object [12]. In this research, we tried to determine the means by which newborn infants, not having yet exploratory procedures, are able to treat this object property.

Perception of Weight and Elasticity [PDF]
Nature, 1937 IN experiments on the perception of elasticity, we have found that individuals equate a pull on an expanding elastic spring with a much lighter lifted weight impression. Lifting a weight of 2.50 kilograms (for which the psycho-physical limen is of the order 0.10 kilogram) was matched by one person with a pull as large as 6.50 kilograms (probable error ...

Aging and Weight-Ratio Perception
PLoS ONE, 2012 Past research has provided evidence that older adults have more difficulty than younger adults in discriminating small differences in lifted weight (i.e., the difference threshold for older adults is higher than that of younger adults). Given this result, one might expect that older adults would demonstrate similar impairments in weight ratio ...

Sensory and perceptual interactions in weight perception [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 2008 In four experiments, a multidimensional signal detection analysis was used to determine the influence of length, diameter, and mass on haptically perceived heaviness with and without vision. This analysis allowed us to test for sensory and perceptual interactions between mass and size.
