Sound affects the speed of visual processing.
The authors examined the effects of a task-irrelevant sound on visual processing. Participants were presented with revolving clocks at or around central fixation and reported the hand position of a target clock at the time an exogenous cue (1 clock turning red) or an endogenous cue (a line pointing toward 1 of the clocks) was presented. A spatially irrelevant sound presented 100 ms before the c...
متن کاملMUSIC AND WALKING SPEED Music and Walking Speed*
Walking speed was timed for male and female pedestrians on a public sidewalk with fast, slow, or no music playing in the background (n = 20 per condition). Pedestrians in the fast music condition walked more rapidly than those in the other two conditions. Slow music did not reduce walking speed, relative to the no music condition. Walking speed did not differ by gender in any of the three condi...
متن کاملComfortable and maximum walking speed of adults aged 20-79 years: reference values and determinants.
OBJECTIVES to establish reference values for both comfortable and maximum gait speed and to describe the reliability of the gait speed measures and the correlation of selected variables with them. DESIGN descriptive and cross-sectional. METHODS subjects were 230 healthy volunteers. Gait was timed over a 7.62 m expanse of floor. Actual and height normalized speed were determined. Lower extre...
متن کاملFast visual prediction and slow optimization of preferred walking speed.
People prefer walking speeds that minimize energetic cost. This may be accomplished by directly sensing metabolic rate and adapting gait to minimize it, but only slowly due to the compounded effects of sensing delays and iterative convergence. Visual and other sensory information is available more rapidly and could help predict which gait changes reduce energetic cost, but only approximately be...
متن کاملEnhanced optic flow speed discrimination while walking: contextual tuning of visual coding.
We tested the hypothesis that long-term adaptation to the normal contingencies between walking and its multisensory consequences (including optic flow) leads to enhanced discrimination of appropriate visual speeds during self-motion. In experiments 1 (task 1) and 2 a two-interval forced-choice procedure was used to compare the perceived speed of a simulated visual flow field viewed while walkin...
