Abstract
Two experiments were performed to study the ability of blindfolded subjects to estimate distance on the basis of proprioceptive cues. In the first experiment, subjects judged the length of metal rods that they were allowed to explore freely. With this access to positional as well as other cues, subjects' estimates were a nearly linear function of actual length. These data closely paralleled control measurements obtained under conditions of visual, rather than haptic, inspection. In the second experiment, each subject slid his or her index finger laterally along a straight path delimited by the apparatus, and then gave a magnitude estimate of the distance through which the finger had moved. Velocity of movement was manipulated by asking subjects, on each trial, to move at one of five speeds ranging from "very slow" to "very fast"; these instructions elicited velocities spanning a 100-to-1 range. Magnitude estimates of distance in this second experiment increased as a function of actual distance, but decreased as a function of velocity. This latter phenomenon resembles the dependence of perceived distance on velocity that has been shown by other investigators to occur when a stimulus object is drawn across the skin. The data of the present study are consistent with the hypothesis that the perceived length of an active movement depends on a combination of movement and position signals from primary and secondary sensory fibers in muscle spindles.
