摘要
The present study investigated whether and how visual memory and haptic perception are related. Participants were required to compare a visual reference velocity with a visual test velocity separated by a 4-s interval. During the retention interval, a fast or slow hand movement was performed. Although the hand movement was not visible, effects of the speed of the distracting body movement occurred. Slow movements resulted in a lowering of the represented visual velocity, whereas fast movements heightened the represented velocity. Subsequent experiments extended the effect to body movements that differed from the visual motion and ruled out the possibility that the effect was due to changes in visual perception or interference from semantic, verbal, and acoustic memory codes. Perhaps haptic velocity information and visual velocity information stored in short-term memory are blended.
