Relationship Between the Sensory Processing Patterns and the Detection Threshold of Curvature Gain

This study examines the relationship between sensory processing patterns and the effects of redirected walking (RDW). Research efforts have been devoted to identifying the detection threshold (DT) of the RDW techniques, and various DTs have been reported in different studies. Recently, age, sex, and spatial ability have been found to be associated with the DTs of RDW techniques. A preliminary examination was conducted on the relationship between sensory processing patterns, as measured by the Adolescents/Adult Sensory Profile, and the DT of curvature gains, one of the fundamental RDW techniques, and it was suggested that the higher sensory sensitivity tendencies were associated with lower DT, i.e., participants were more likely to notice the RDW technique.
