Abstract
NYBORG, H. Tactile stimulation and perception of the vertical. I. Effects of diffuse vs. specific tactile stimulation. Scand. J. Psychol., 1971, 12, 1–13. – It was found that tactile stimulation influenced perception of verticality. Perception of verticality was tested by means of Rod‐and‐Frame Test, standard procedure. During tilted standing, subjects were exposed to diffuse tactile stimulation (DBR) or specific tactile stimulation (SBR) by means of a specially built apparatus. On the average, subjects scored closer to the physical vertical during SBR than during DBR.Keywords
