“…Gibson, 1966; Turvey, Burton, Pagano, Solomon, & Runeson, 1992). Such studies have revealed perceptual independence of an object’s length and center of percussion (Cooper, Carello, & Turvey, 1999), whole length, partial length, and hand position (Cooper, Carello, & Turvey, 2000; see also Santana, Hove, Riley, & Tollner, 2003), and size and weight (Amazeen, 1999). While this approach has many advantages, it places restrictions on experimental designs and procedures.…”

The Independent Perceptual Calibration of Action-Neutral and -Referential Environmental Properties

Two experiments were conducted to explore how the calibration of perception of environmental properties taken with reference to an animal and their action capabilities (e.g., affordances) and those that are independent of action capabilities (e.g., metric properties) relate. In both experiments, participants provided reports of the maximum height they could reach above their head with a number of different stick(s) (reach-with-stick height) and the length of those stick(s), a property that is a constituent of reach-with-stick height. In Experiment 1 reach-with-stick height reports improved over trials whereas stick length reports remained constant. In Experiment 2, feedback about maximum reach-with-stick height improved perception of this affordance, but such improvements did not transfer to perception of stick length in a pretest/practice task/posttest design. The results suggest that the perceptual calibration with practice perceiving or feedback about actual dimensions of action-referential and action-neutral properties do not necessarily depend on one another.
