    Spatial-form perception showed no sex or laterality differences. Accuracy improved with simpler stimuli and same-side visual-tactile processing, suggesting behavioral compatibility over cerebral asymmetry.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Sensory Perception

    Background:

    • Investigating the brain's processing of spatial information.
    • Understanding how visual and tactile senses interact.
    • Examining potential differences in perception based on body side (laterality) or sex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the laterality of spatial-form perception in adults.
    • To compare visual-to-tactile and tactile-to-visual cross-modal matching.
    • To determine if sex or stimulus complexity influences perception.

    Main Methods:

    • Used visual and tactile stimuli (Vanderplas and Garvin patterns).
    • Employed cross-modal matching tasks: visual-to-tactile and tactile-to-visual.
    • Analyzed matching accuracy based on laterality, sex, and stimulus complexity.

    Main Results:

    • No significant main effects for laterality or sex were found.
    • Matching accuracy was higher in the visual-to-tactile task.
    • Accuracy improved with less complex stimuli and when visual and tactile processing occurred on the same side of the body.

    Conclusions:

    • Spatial-form perception is influenced by stimulus-response compatibility, not cerebral asymmetry.
    • Behavioral factors play a key role in cross-modal spatial perception.
    • Same-side visual-tactile processing enhances recognition accuracy.
