The influence of picture size on recognition and exploratory behaviour in raised-line drawings.

چکیده
We demonstrate the influence of picture size on haptic recognition and exploratory behaviour. The stimuli were raised-line drawings of everyday objects. Participants were instructed to think aloud during haptic exploration of the pictures. We measured the delay between initial correct speculation and final correct response. The results indicate that picture size influences accuracy but not response latency: large drawings are recognised more often but not faster. By analysing video recordings of the experiment we found that two-handed exploration increases when picture size increases and that, on average, 83% of the exploration time involves the use of two hands. The thinking-aloud data showed that the average time difference between the initial correct speculation and final correct response amounted to 23% of the total reaction time. We discuss our results with respect to the design of tactile aids and the ecological validity of single-finger exploration.

Similarity of tactual and visual picture recognition with limited field of view.
Subjects attempted to recognize simple line drawings of common objects using either touch or vision. In the touch condition, subjects explored raised line drawings using the distal pad of the index finger or the distal pads both of the index and of the middle fingers. In the visual condition, a computer-driven display was used to simulate tactual exploration. By moving an electronic pen over a ...
متن کاملSize invariance in visual object priming of gray-scale images.
The strength of visual priming of briefly presented gray-scale pictures of real-world objects, measured by reaction times and errors in naming, was independent of whether the primed picture of the object was presented in the same size as or different size from the original picture. These findings replicate results on size invariance in shape recognition, which were obtained with line drawings, ...
متن کاملHaptic identification of raised-line drawings: high visuospatial imagers outperform low visuospatial imagers.
It has been assumed (Lederman et al. 1990, Perception & psychophysics) that a visual imagery process is involved in the haptic identification of raised-line drawings of common objects. The finding of significant correlations between visual imagery ability and performance on picture-naming tasks was taken as experimental evidence in support of this assumption. However, visual imagery measures ca...

متن کاملHaptic Identification of Raised-line Drawings by Children, Adolescents and Young Adults: an Age-related Skill
Past research involving adult participants has consistently shown that the identification of raisedline drawings through haptics was challenging. In the present study, we used a developmental approach to assess whether this skill was related to age and haptic short-term memory capacity. To that end, we asked sighted children, adolescents, and young adults to identify raised-line drawings of com...
