Comparison of two indicators of perceived egocentric distance under full-cue and reduced-cue conditions
John W. Philbeck,Jack M. Loomis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared walking and verbal report as distance indicators, looking for a tight covariation in responses that would indicate control by a common variable, namely perceived distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual Perception of Location and Distance
TL;DR: This chapter discusses honeybees, ants, and the nature, use, and acquisition of language in the context of large scale Neuronal Theories of the Brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visually perceived location is an invariant in the control of action.
TL;DR: Experimental evidence that perceived location is an invariant in the control of action is provided, by showing that different actions are directed toward a single visually specified location in space and that this single location, although specified by a fixed physical target, varies with the availability of information about the distance of that target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing auditory distance perception using perceptually directed action
TL;DR: Under circumstances for which visual targets were perceived more or less correctly in distance using the more precise walking response, auditory targets were generally perceived with considerable systematic error, and there was a tendency to underestimate target distance, except for the closest targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Various Perceptions of Distance: An Alternative View of How Effort Affects Distance Judgments
TL;DR: The authors' interpretation is that in the paradigms tested, effort manipulations are prone to influencing response calibration because they encourage participants to take nonperceptual connotations of distance into account while leaving perceived distance itself unaffected.
