Research on active and passive perception in the past year proceeded along several directions.First, we continued the development of research equipment involved in the project. Our first behavioral experiment (described below) highlighted the gaps in implementation that could hinder further progress. Accordingly, we measured and minimized all possible delays between the components of our experimental system such that data can be acquired continuously from movement, haptic output and physiology and synchronized via event triggers.Second, we have completed one behavioral study. Participants explored two-dimensional objects using our experimental apparatus and reported their object size estimates. We manipulated 1) their control over exploratory movements as being either Active (control present) or Passive (control absent) and 2) their knowledge of the task goals, being either Specific (task-focused) or Generic (exploratory). We found no difference between the Active and Passive conditions but significantly higher perceptual accuracy in Specific Intention trials compared to Generic Intention ones. The output of this work has been accepted for oral presentation and publication in the CogSci 2023 conference.Third, we started designing and piloting a new experiment on shape recognition in a similar setup.Finally, we have nearly completed a full text review of articles that were preliminarily selected for the systematic review part of the project.

在过去的一年里，关于主动和被动感知的研究沿着几个方向进行。我们的第一个行为实验（如下所述）强调了可能阻碍进一步进展的实施差距。因此，我们测量并最大限度地减少了实验系统组件之间的所有可能延迟，从而可以从运动、触觉输出和生理学中连续获取数据，并通过事件触发器进行同步。第二，我们完成了一项行为研究。参与者使用我们的实验装置探索二维物体，并报告他们的物体大小估计。我们操纵1）他们对探索性运动的控制是主动的（控制存在）或被动的（控制不存在），2）他们对任务目标的了解是特定的（以任务为中心）或一般的（探索性）。我们发现主动和被动条件之间没有差异，但显着更高的感知准确性，具体意图的试验相比，通用意图的。这项工作的成果已被接受为口头报告和发表在CogSci 2023会议。第三，我们开始设计和试点一个新的实验形状识别在类似的设置。最后，我们已经接近完成了全文审查的文章，初步选定的系统性审查部分的项目。
