Multiple cues contribute to the discrimination of slip motion speed by touch. In our previous article, we demonstrated that masking vibrations at various frequencies impaired the discrimination of speed. In this article, we extended the previous results to evaluate this phenomenon on a smooth glass surface, and for different values of contact force and duration of the masking stimulus. Speed discrimination was significantly impaired by masking vibrations at high but not at low contact force. Furthermore, a short pulse of masking vibrations at motion onset produced a similar effect as the long masking stimulus, delivered throughout slip motion duration. This last result suggests that mechanical events at motion onset provide important cues to the discrimination of speed.

Abstract
Multiple cues contribute to the discrimination of slip motion speed by touch. In our previous article, we demonstrated that masking vibrations at various frequencies impaired the discrimination of speed. In this article, we extended the previous results to evaluate this phenomenon on a smooth glass surface, and for different values of contact force and duration of the masking stimulus. Speed discrimination was significantly impaired by masking vibrations at high but not at low contact force. Furthermore, a short pulse of masking vibrations at motion onset produced a similar effect as the long masking stimulus, delivered throughout slip motion duration. This last result suggests that mechanical events at motion onset provide important cues to the discrimination of speed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
