Journal ArticleDOI
Perceiving geographical slant
TL;DR: It is proposed that the perceived exaggeration of geographical slant preserves the relationship between distal inclination and people’s behavioral potential, thereby enhancing sensitivity to the small inclines that must actually be traversed in everyday experience.
Journal ArticleDOI
An ecological theory of orientation and the vestibular system.
TL;DR: This article provides evidence against a fundamental assumption of traditional theories of orientation--that gravitoinertial force is perceived, and argues that orientation is based on information that is available in patterns of motion of the organism, and that perception and control of orientation depend not only on information about an organism's motions relative to the local force environment but also on Information about the surface of support and about the compensatory actions of the organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motion perception during selfmotion: The direct versus inferential controversy revisited
TL;DR: The present theory describes the interface between self-motion and object-motion percepts and provides a new, unified framework for interpreting many phenomena in the field of motion perception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychological stress repeatedly blocks hippocampal primed burst potentiation in behaving rats
TL;DR: The hypothesis that hippocampal plasticity is repeatedly susceptible to modulation by the stress of forced exposure to a novel environment is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two memories for geographical slant: separation and interdependence of action and awareness.
TL;DR: The present study extended previous findings of geographical slant perception, in which verbal judgments of the incline of hills were greatly overestimated but motoric (haptic) adjustments were much more accurate than those given when viewing hills.
