| Popis: | Two experiments examined perception of the extent of a target rod that is contacted and wielded by a second probe rod. The equations that define the dynamics of the probe-target system suggest a higher order moment of inertia as the relevant perceptual variable. The particular inertial term implicates parameters of both the target and probe rod. Experiment 1 manipulated the inertia of the target rod and Experiment 2 manipulated the inertia of the probe rod. In both experiments, perceived length was a function of the complex inertial term. Results were discussed in terms of haptic perception at a distance, the equivalence of inert and neural appendages, and the scaling of perceived to actual variables. |
