Pointing to kinesthetic targets in space.
An experiment investigated in human adults the sensorimotor transformation involved in pointing to a spatial target identified previously by kinesthetic cues. In the "locating phase," a computer-controlled mechanical arm guided the left [condition LR (left-right)] or right [condition RR (right-right)] finger of the blindfolded participant to one of 27 target positions. In the subsequent "pointi...
متن کاملPointing in 3D space to remembered targets. I. Kinesthetic versus visual target presentation.
This study investigated the influence of different modalities of target information (visual, kinesthetic) on the accuracy, kinematics, and interjoint coordination of pointing movements to remembered targets. The targets were presented by a robot arm in five locations in three-dimensional (3D) space, either as a point of light in a dark room ("visual" condition), or kinesthetically. Relative poi...
متن کاملSensorimotor representations for pointing to targets in three-dimensional space.
1. The accuracy with which subjects pointed to targets in extrapersonal space was assessed under a variety of experimental conditions. 2. When subjects pointed in the dark to remembered target locations, they made substantial errors. Errors in distance, measured from the shoulder to the target, were sometimes as much as 15 cm. Errors in direction, also measured from the shoulder, were smaller. ...
متن کاملExocentric pointing to opposite targets.
We use an exocentric pointing task to study exocentric visual directions to targets that are opposite to a pointer relative to the observer. (The apparent distance between the target and the pointer always exceeded 90 degrees of visual angle.) All pointing takes place in the horizontal plane at eye height. Observers could not see both target and pointer at a single glance. They had to look back...
متن کاملPointing to Visible and Invisible Targets
We investigated how the visibility of targets influenced the type of point used to provide directions. In Study 1, we asked 605 passersby in three localities for directions to well-known local landmarks. When that landmark was in plain view behind the requester, most respondents pointed with their index fingers, and few respondents pointed more than once. In contrast, when the landmark was not ...
