An empirical investigation of visual processing during locomotion : from the viewpoint of experimental and developmental psychology

研究了向前/向后运动时的视觉运动灵敏度。结果表明，运动方向与视觉运动模式的关系为自然状态时，视觉运动敏感度低于运动方向与视觉运动模式的关系为非自然状态时。我们还研究了运动能力的发展与婴儿对各种视觉运动模式的敏感性之间是否存在系统的关系。我们发现，对于不同的视觉运动模式的敏感性差异往往是显著的出现后，有效的运动能力，在生命的第一年。这些结果表明，运动能力和视觉运动知觉之间存在一种抑制性的相互作用，这种相互作用可能是出生后通过日常经验习得的。

Visual motion sensitivity during forward/backward locomotion was investigated. Results indicated that the visual motion sensitivity was lower under the condition that the relation between the direction of locomotion and that of a visual motion pattern was in a natural state than under the condition that the relation between them was unnatural. We also examined whether there is a systematic relationship between development of locomotor ability and that of sensitivities to various visual motion patterns in infancy. We found that difference between sensitivities to distinct visual motion patterns tended to be remarkable after the emergence of valid locomotor ability in the first year of life. These results suggest that there is a suppressive interaction between the locomotor ability and visual motion perception which may be acquired through daily experiences after birth.
