在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个新的理论晕动病。在感觉冲突理论中，知觉系统的刺激变化被认为是造成晕动病的原因。我们讨论了这样一个事实：刺激的这些变化并不独立于动物与环境的相互作用，而是由作用于动作控制的约束的相应变化决定的。因此，挑衅性情境的特点可能是对行动控制的新要求以及新的刺激模式。我们的假设是，动物生病的情况下，他们不具备（或尚未学习）的策略，是有效的维持姿势的稳定性。我们确定了一个广泛的情况下，晕动病的发生是有关的因素，应影响姿势稳定性。这使我们能够在晕动病和姿势稳定性之间建立逻辑联系。我们的分析意味着对稳定性的理解应该是一般感知和行动研究议程的重要组成部分。我们认为姿势不稳定可能与非线性生理控制系统文献中提出的动力学疾病概念有关。最后，我们提出了基于新方法的研究建议。
In this article we present a new theory of motion sickness. In the sensory conflict theory, changes in stimulation of perceptual systems are believed to be responsible for motion sickness. We discuss the fact that these changes in stimulation are not independent of the animal-environment interaction, but are determined by corresponding changes in the constraints operating on the control of action. Thus, provocative situations may be characterized by novel demands on the control of action as well as by novel patterns of stimulation. Our hypothesis is that animals become sick in situations in which they do not possess (or have not yet learned) strategies that are effective for the maintenance of postural stability. We identify a broad range of situations over which the occurrence of motion sickness is related to factors that should influence postural stability. This allows us to establish a logical link between motion sickness and postural stability. Our analysis implies that an understanding of stability should be an important part of the agenda in research on perception and action in general. We suggest that postural instability could be related to the concept of dynamical disease which has been developed in the literature on nonlinear physiological control systems. We conclude with suggestions for research based on the new approach.
