Objects easy to explore by touch were mistakenly identified as familiar more often. This perceptual fluency effect in memory is consistent across different senses.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Perceptual fluency, the ease with which information is processed, influences cognitive judgments.
  • Prior research has established links between perceptual fluency and memory in various sensory modalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of haptic perceptual fluency in recognition memory.
  • To determine if tactile exploration ease affects judgments of prior experience.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-two participants were presented with objects.
  • Object haptic exploration ease was systematically varied.
  • Recognition memory judgments were collected for the presented objects.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Objects easier to explore haptically were more frequently misjudged as previously encountered.
  • A significant correlation was found between haptic exploration fluency and false recognition rates.
  • This finding extends the perceptual fluency-memory link to the tactile domain.

Conclusions:

  • Haptic perceptual fluency can lead to illusory recognition, suggesting a shared mechanism across senses.
  • The ease of tactile exploration impacts memory recall and familiarity judgments.
  • Findings have implications for understanding sensory integration in memory and designing haptic interfaces.
