我们研究了专家效应是否存在于皮肤的风感知中。为此，我们在风模拟器中提供了由不同风向和风速组成的风刺激。风模拟器通过8个汽车风扇产生了来自16个方向和3个速度的风刺激。参与者被要求在没有任何视觉或听觉信息的情况下，凭直觉判断风向和风速。专家水手（n = 6）接受过最有效地利用风特性的训练，他们与技术较差的水手（n = 6）和一组非水手（n = 6）进行了比较。结果表明，当风速较低时，专业水手在感知风向（即较小的平均符号误差）方面表现优于非水手。这表明，专业的水手对风向的变化更加敏感，尤其是在风速较低、需要更高灵敏度的情况下。
We examined whether expertise effects are present in cutaneous wind perception. To this end, we presented wind stimuli consisting of different wind directions and speeds in a wind simulator. The wind simulator generated wind stimuli from 16 directions and with three speeds by means of eight automotive wind fans. Participants were asked to judge cutaneously perceived wind directions and speeds without having access to any visual or auditory information. Expert sailors (n = 6), trained to make the most effective use of wind characteristics, were compared to less-skilled sailors (n = 6) and to a group of nonsailors (n = 6). The results indicated that expert sailors outperformed nonsailors in perceiving wind direction (i.e., smaller mean signed errors) when presented with low wind speeds. This suggests that expert sailors are more sensitive in picking up differences in wind direction, particularly when confronted with low wind speeds that demand higher sensitivity.
