Major Somatic Sensory Pathways01:28

Major Somatic Sensory Pathways

3.4K
Sensory impulses related to touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception from various body parts, such as the limbs, trunk, neck, and posterior head, travel to the cerebral cortex through the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway. The pathway’s name derives from the two white-matter tracts that convey the impulses: the spinal cord's posterior column and the brainstem's medial lemniscus. First-order sensory neurons extend their axons into the spinal cord, forming the...

Eyewitness Memory01:22

Eyewitness Memory

581
Eyewitness memory refers to the recollection of events by someone who has directly witnessed them, often serving as critical evidence in legal settings. This type of memory is commonly used in criminal cases where a witness describes details like a suspect's appearance, clothing, or behavior during a crime. However, despite its perceived reliability, eyewitness memory is prone to significant errors.
One such error is memory distortion, which occurs because human memory does not function...

Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

4.5K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Implicit Memories01:24

Implicit Memories

568
Implicit memories, also known as non-declarative memories, are long-term memories that function outside of conscious awareness. These memories influence behavior and skills without explicit knowledge. This type of memory is evident in tasks like playing tennis, snowboarding, and texting. Implicit memory has three subsystems: procedural memory, conditioning, and priming. This type of memory is essential in various activities, from everyday tasks to specialized skills.
One key aspect of implicit...

First Impression

357
First impressions play a crucial role in social perception, shaping how individuals assess others in professional, academic, and interpersonal contexts. Psychological research highlights the significance of cognitive biases, such as the primacy and recency effects, which influence how people interpret and recall information.The Primacy Effect and Cognitive AnchoringThe primacy effect describes the tendency for initial information to impact judgment disproportionately. When individuals encounter...

Rigid Body Equilibrium Problems - II01:21

Rigid Body Equilibrium Problems - II

8.2K
A rigid body is in static equilibrium when the net force and the net torque acting on the system are equal to zero.
Consider two children sitting on a seesaw, which has negligible mass. The first child has a mass (m1) of 26 kg and sits at point A, which is 1.6 meters (r1) from the pivot point B; the second child has a mass (m2) of 32 kg and sits at point C. How far from the pivot point B should the second child sit (r2) to balance the seesaw?

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Motor Control
  • Human Perception

Background:

  • The brain predicts object weight using visual cues and tactile feedback for force scaling.
  • Sensorimotor memory, or implicit knowledge from recent lifting, guides force planning when visual cues are absent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if prior lifting experience biases weight perception.
  • To examine the relationship between perceptual bias and force scaling.
  • To determine the role of active lifting in these perceptual changes.

Main Methods:

  • Participants lifted a series of light and heavy objects in a semi-randomized order.
  • Weight perception was estimated after each lift.
  • A control experiment involved passive weight application to assess the role of active lifting.

Main Results:

  • Forces were scaled based on previous lifts (sensorimotor memory), with effects increasing with experience.
  • Perceptual weight estimates were biased by the preceding lift (lower after heavy lifts).
  • This perceptual bias was significant for light objects but not heavy ones, aligning with Weber's law.

Conclusions:

  • Fast learning of lifting dynamics shapes weight perception.
  • A strong link exists between action planning (force scaling) and perception control.
  • Online motor corrections proportionally downscale weight estimation when force and weight predictions mismatch.
