Massen, Cristina; Sattler, Christine – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Research on bimanual coordination of hand movements has identified several loci of bimanual interference, including interference because of programming different movement parameters or selecting different targets for the two hands. This study investigates the extent and origin of interference when participants execute bimanual actions with tools.…

Longo, Matthew R.; Haggard, Patrick – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Primary somatosensory maps in the brain represent the body as a discontinuous, fragmented set of two-dimensional (2-D) skin regions. We nevertheless experience our body as a coherent three-dimensional (3-D) volumetric object. The links between these different aspects of body representation, however, remain poorly understood. Perceiving the body's…

Bub, Daniel N.; Masson, Michael E. J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
We examined automatic spatial alignment effects evoked by handled objects. Using color as the relevant cue carried by an irrelevant handled object aligned or misaligned with the response hand, responses to color were faster when the handle aligned with the response hand. Alignment effects were observed only when the task was to make a reach and…

Catmur, Caroline; Heyes, Cecilia – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Imitative compatibility, or automatic imitation, has been used as a measure of imitative performance and as a behavioral index of the functioning of the human mirror system (e.g., Brass, Bekkering, Wohlschlager, & Prinz, 2000; Heyes, Bird, Johnson, & Haggard, 2005; Kilner, Paulignan, & Blakemore, 2003). However, the use of imitative…

Leonhard, Tanja; Fernandez, Susana Ruiz; Ulrich, Rolf; Miller, Jeff – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Five psychological refractory period (PRP) experiments were conducted with an especially time-consuming first task (Experiments 1, 3, and 5: mental rotation; Experiments 2 and 4: memory scanning) and with equal emphasis on the first task and on the second (left-right tone judgment). The standard design with varying stimulus onset asynchronies…

Linkenauger, Sally A.; Witt, Jessica K.; Stefanucci, Jeanine K.; Bakdash, Jonathan Z.; Proffitt, Dennis R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Previous research has suggested that perceived distances are scaled by the action capabilities of the body. The present studies showed that when "reachability" is constrained due to a difficult grasp required to pick up an object, perceived distance to the object increases. Participants estimated the distances to tools with handle…

Thaler, Lore; Todd, James T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Visual information can specify spatial layout with respect to the observer (egocentric) or with respect to an external frame of reference (allocentric). People can use both of these types of visual spatial information to guide their hands. The question arises if movements based on egocentric and movements based on allocentric visual information…

Hove, Michael J.; Spivey, Michael J.; Krumhansl, Carol L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Prior research indicates that synchronized tapping performance is very poor with flashing visual stimuli compared with auditory stimuli. Three finger-tapping experiments compared flashing visual metronomes with visual metronomes containing a spatial component, either compatible, incompatible, or orthogonal to the tapping action. In Experiment 1,…
