Direct linkHarrison, Steven J.; Hajnal, Alen; Lopresti-Goodman, Stacy; Isenhower, Robert W.; Kinsella-Shaw, J. M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
At issue in the present series of experiments was the ability to prospectively perceive the action-relevant properties of hand-held tools by means of dynamic touch. In Experiment 1, participants judged object move-ability. In Experiment 2, participants judged how difficult an object would be to hold if held horizontally, and in Experiments 3 and…

Adolph, Karen E.; Joh, Amy S.; Eppler, Marion A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Three experiments investigated whether 14- and 15-month-old infants use information for both friction and slant for prospective control of locomotion down slopes. In Experiment 1, high- and low-friction conditions were interleaved on a range of shallow and steep slopes. In Experiment 2, friction conditions were blocked. In Experiment 3, the…

Hutchinson, Claire V.; Ledgeway, Tim – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
This study investigated the effect of temporal frequency and modulation depth on reaction times for discriminating the direction of first-order (luminance-defined) and second-order (contrast-defined) motion, equated for visibility using equal multiples of direction-discrimination threshold. Results showed that reaction times were heavily…

Mack, Michael L.; Palmeri, Thomas J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
We investigated whether there exists a behavioral dependency between object detection and categorization. Previous work (Grill-Spector & Kanwisher, 2005) suggests that object detection and basic-level categorization may be the very same perceptual mechanism: As objects are parsed from the background they are categorized at the basic level. In…

Leighton, Jane; Heyes, Cecilia – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
The effector dependence of automatic imitation was investigated using a stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) procedure during which participants were required to make an open or closed response with their hand or their mouth. The correct response for each trial was indicated by a pair of letters in Experiments 1 and 2 and by a colored square in…

Girardi, Giovanna; Lindemann, Oliver; Bekkering, Harold – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
In 4 experiments, we investigated the effects of object affordance in reach-to-grasp actions. Participants indicated whether a depicted small or large object was natural or manmade by means of different object-grasping responses (i.e., with a power or a precision grip). We observed that the size of the depicted object affected the grasping…
