    The way you lift an object affects how heavy it feels, supporting the motor theory of weight judgment. Lifting movements are significantly linked to the time-order error in weight perception.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • The motor theory of weight judgment proposes that motor commands influence sensory perception.
    • Proprioceptors provide sensory feedback about body position and movement, crucial for motor control and perception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between lifting movements and the perceived heaviness of objects.
    • To test predictions derived from the motor theory of weight judgment.

    Main Methods:

    • 13 subjects were instructed to lift objects with varying forces (gently or vigorously).
    • Perceived heaviness and time-order error were measured in relation to lifting movements.

    Main Results:

    • Object heaviness perception was successfully manipulated by altering lifting force.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • A significant relationship was found between the time-order error and the nature of the lifting movements.

    • Conclusions:

    • Lifting movements play a significant role in the perception of object weight.
    • Findings support the motor theory of weight judgment and highlight the importance of proprioceptive feedback.
