Abstract
Judgements of object orientation after prolonged head tilt differ relative to those made before tilt. This visual spatial after-effect was investigated with lateral head tilt relative to the upright and supine body. The data from two experiments indicate that the magnitude and direction of the visual after-effect does not differ under the two body postures. It is concluded that the proprioceptive system of the neck, as opposed to the otolith system of the utricle, is involved in the after-effect.Keywords
