Apparent body tilt and postural aftereffect

Perception & Psychophysics
A Higashiyama, K Koga

Abstract

Apparent orientation of the body tilted laterally in the frontal plane was studied with the methods of absolute judgments in four experiments. In Experiment 1, 17 subjects, who maintained the normal adaptation of body to gravity, estimated their body tilts under the condition of seeing the gravitational vertical and under the condition of eliminating it. The results showed that (1) there was not a significant difference between the two conditions and (2) the small tilts of less than 45 degrees were exactly estimated, whereas the large tilts of 45 degrees-108 degrees were overestimated. In Experiment 2, 10 subjects estimated their body tilts under three velocities of a rotating chair on which each subject was placed. Although both body tilt and chair velocity were found to influence tilt estimation, the effect of body tilt was overwhelmingly greater than that of chair velocity. In Experiment 3, 11 subjects adapted their bodies to a 72 degrees left tilt for 10 min and then estimated various body tilts around the adapting tilt. The estimations obtained under the 72 degrees adaptation were lower than those obtained under the 0 degree adaptation, and this reduction was greater for the test tilt that was farther away from the adaptin...Continue Reading
