A visually-driven postural after-effect

J Reason, H Wagner, D Dewhurst

    Acta Psychologica
    |August 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Observers lean with visual motion and then drift in the opposite direction after motion stops. This postural after-effect depends on prior visually-induced body lean and seeing the static display post-motion.

    Area of Science:

    • Human sensorimotor control
    • Visual perception and motion processing

    Background:

    • Large-scale visual motion typically induces body lean in the direction of perceived movement.
    • Post-motion, observers exhibit a return drift that overshoots the upright, leading to a temporary lean in the opposite direction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the factors influencing the postural after-effect following pitch vection.
    • To understand the relationship between visually-induced body lean and subsequent postural adjustments.

    Main Methods:

    • Two experiments were conducted using pitch vection stimuli.
    • Participants' postural responses were measured in relation to visual motion and display conditions.

    Main Results:

    • The postural after-effect was contingent on establishing a prior visually-induced body lean.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Continued sight of the static display after motion cessation was crucial for the after-effect.

    • Conclusions:

    • The postural after-effect is determined by the prior visually-induced body lean and visual conditions post-motion.
    • An internal representation of body position likely explains the observed postural after-effects.
