Numerous studies have investigated age-related changes in visual motion perception and demonstrated that aging impairs motion processing. However, limited studies have explored age-related changes in auditory motion perception, and whether aging influences auditory motion perception based on interaural level differences remains unknown. This study examined age-related differences in the discrimination of auditory motion direction based on interaural level differences. We conducted two experiments to estimate the signal-to-noise ratio and motion coherence thresholds required to discriminate auditory motion and visual motion directions, respectively, in younger and older adults. Results showed that age significantly impairs visual motion discrimination; however, it does not impair auditory motion discrimination. These findings suggest that aging does not affect auditory motion perception based on interaural level differences, at least with the broadband noise used in this experiment.","PeriodicalId":47194,"journal":{"name":"I-Perception","volume":"16 2","pages":"20416695241311206"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11874038/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optic flow (the apparent motion of scene texture elements that occurs during self-motion) provides powerful signals about the direction of travel. Here, we test whether monocular blur impairs heading perception from optic flow compared to full vision under various levels of optic flow degradation. Participants (N = 52, mean age = 30 years) completed contrast sensitivity, visual acuity, and heading perception tasks with rich or degraded optic flow, with or without monocular blur (0.4 logMAR Bangerter filter over the non-dominant eye, full vision in the dominant eye). Heading perception was assessed using a browser-based task where the participants viewed a 3-second video consistent with self-motion over a textured ground plane (moving towards the horizon at an offset heading ranging from -20 to +20°) and identified the point on the horizon towards which they were travelling. The measures of each participant's performance were the absolute and directional angular error between the heading offset and their response. Monocular blur and degraded flow were associated with an increase in absolute heading error and a larger underestimation of heading angle, with the worst performance observed when monocular blur and degraded flow were combined. These results suggest that the impact of monocular blur on heading perception becomes apparent only when optic flow signals are weak (e.g., night-time driving). These findings support the theory that monocular blur and the richness of visual information interact to produce deficits in heading perception.","PeriodicalId":47194,"journal":{"name":"I-Perception","volume":"16 1","pages":"20416695251317148"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11863211/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143516967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies reported that SWYF leads to a general underestimation of out-of-sight handheld spheres, which seems to increase with visual scale distance. Experiment 1 tested the effect of visual scale distance in haptic-to-visual crossmodal matching. A 19-step visual scale, made of actual 3D spheres (diameters ranging from 2.0 to 5.6 cm), was set at one of three possible distances (30, 160, 290 cm); participants' task was to find the matching visual spheres for four out-of-sight handheld test spheres (diameters 3.0, 3.8, 4.6, 5.0 cm). Results confirmed the underestimation effect and only partially confirmed the role of scale distance. Experiment 2 investigated the role of scale distance in a visual-to-visual matching task in which the same visual scale was employed, set at one of three distances (37, 160, 290 cm). Participants' task was to find a match for the same four test stimuli. Results showed no statistical difference between matched and actual sphere sizes with distance 37 cm; underestimations were observed with the far distances, thus reflecting overestimations of scale sphere sizes. Results from both experiments allow us to conclude that the underestimation effect observed with SWYF is a general feature of haptic-to-visual crossmodal matching, and that the SWYF method is a valuable tool for measuring haptic size perception with handheld stimuli when the visual scale is set at a visually comfortable peripersonal distance.","PeriodicalId":47194,"journal":{"name":"I-Perception","volume":"16 1","pages":"20416695251318591"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11860285/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143516970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty participants, drawn from general and artistic populations, evaluated nine paintings representing abstract, traditional figural, and modern figural styles using the PT and aesthetic rating scales. The PT enabled participants to mark impactful areas within artworks, transforming subjective impressions into spatial data visualized as heatmaps. Results showed that, on average, participants marked 17% of the painting's surface, with notable stylistic differences in attention distribution. Abstract paintings exhibited dispersed attention, focusing on geometric shapes and color contrasts, while traditional figural works concentrated on narrative elements. Modern figural paintings demonstrated a hybrid pattern, emphasizing both individual details and broader compositions. The study also tested the hypothesis that dimensional characteristics of marked areas correspond to aesthetic preferences. Findings revealed that the size of marked regions modestly predicted ratings on Interestingness and Comprehensibility scales, though the explained variance was limited. The study highlights the PT's potential for visualizing aesthetic engagement and suggests its integration with physiological methods like eye-tracking to explore the interaction between spontaneous attention and reflective aesthetic judgments. These findings underscore PT's adaptability and value as a tool for investigating aesthetic experiences across diverse art forms and cultural contexts.","PeriodicalId":47194,"journal":{"name":"I-Perception","volume":"16 1","pages":"20416695241309780"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11826878/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143433656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, warnings against this also thread through Japanese thought, from the Edo-period playwright Chikamatsu Monzaemon (1653-1724) to the robotics professor Mori Masahiro (1927-2025). Though centuries apart, they describe the same uncanny valley phenomenon-eerie, cold, repellent feelings that arise when confronting the imperfectly human. In an interview with Hozumi Ikan, translated here, Chikamatsu presents a theory of realism exemplified through puppet theater and kabuki. He divides realism into four zones: the unreal, conceptual realism, surface realism, and the real. The unreal lacks authenticity, surface realism lacks soul, and the real lacks expressiveness. For Chikamatsu, it is conceptual realism that captivates an audience. A play's unfolding events evoke empathy and emotion through their meaning for the characters. Similarly, Mori divides realism into four zones: industrial, humanoid, and android robots, and real people. Industrial robots evoke little affinity, and androids risk appearing eerie. Though real people evoke the most affinity, androids cannot become indistinguishable from them. For Mori, only humanoid robots evoke affinity without risking uncanniness. By exploring anthropomorphism, both Chikamatsu and Mori illuminate principles for designing robots that do not unsettle but delight.","PeriodicalId":47194,"journal":{"name":"I-Perception","volume":"16 1","pages":"20416695251317469"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11800272/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143366236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we propose a methodology that combines two approaches: (a) measuring movements within virtual spaces, and (b) using non-immersive virtual reality. We attempt to demonstrate the effectiveness of this methodology through experimentation. In the experiment, we recorded the exploration of sculptures in virtual spaces of 317 participants using a newly developed system (Virtual Exhibition Space for Tracking and Analyzing system). Results from multiple statistical analyses, including hierarchical Bayesian analysis, indicated differences in view-angles and distances traveled while viewing the artworks under different experimental conditions (where different instructions were given prior to viewing). These findings support the theoretical expectation that the \"mode\" of viewing artworks is influenced by instructions given before viewing, which is further corroborated by the observed differences in the pattern of psychological measurements between conditions. Based on previous research and these experimental results, we discuss the effectiveness and generalizability of our methodology in capturing variations in the art-viewing process as a tool for studying art-viewing behavior not only in virtual but also in real environments.","PeriodicalId":47194,"journal":{"name":"I-Perception","volume":"16 1","pages":"20416695251314182"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11786277/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143081548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Experiment 2, participants visualized ice, and selected/rated, from 22 adjectives, those corresponding to the concept of ice. In Experiment 3, for each of the shapes from Experiment 1, participants chose the most appropriate conceptual attribute from among the six attributes most frequently reported in Experiment 2.
