Perceiving the Direction of Articulatory Motion in Point-Light Actions
Human observers are able to perceive the motion direction of actions (either forward or backward) on the basis of the articulatory, relative motion of the limbs, even when the actions are shown under point-light conditions. However, most studies have focused on the action of walking. The primary purpose of the present study is to further investigate the perception of articulatory motion in diff...
متن کاملPerceiving visual prosody from point-light displays
This study examined the perception of linguistic prosody from augmented point-light displays that were derived from motion tracking six talkers producing different prosodic contrasts. In Experiment 1, we determined perceivers’ ability to use these abstract visual displays to match prosody across modalities (audio to video), when the non-matching visual display was segmentally identical and diff...
متن کاملPredicting point-light actions in real-time.
There is convincing evidence for a mirror system in humans which simulates actions of conspecifics. One possible purpose of such a simulation system is to support action prediction in real-time. Our goal was to study whether the prediction of actions involves a real-time simulation process. We motion-captured a number of human actions and rendered them as point-light action sequences. Observers...
متن کاملPerceiving light versus material
Humans rarely confuse variations in light intensity, such as shadows, shading, light sources and specular reflections, from variations in material properties, such as albedo or pigment. This review explores the cues, or regularities in the visual world that evidence suggests vision exploits to discriminate light from material. These cues include luminance relations, figural relations, 3D-shape,...
متن کاملPerceiving and naming actions and objects
Neuropsychological studies have suggested differences in the cortical representations of verbs and nouns. Assessment of word-class specific deficits often relies on picture naming with different sets of images used for action and object naming. Such a setup may be problematic in neuroimaging studies, as the perception of the image and the actual differences in retrieving verbs or nouns become i...
