The use of proprioception and tactile information in haptic search

KE Overvliet, JBJ Smeets, E Brenner - Acta Psychologica, 2008 - Elsevier
To investigate how tactile and proprioceptive information are used in haptic object
discrimination we conducted a haptic search task in which participants had to search for …

Haptic search with finger movements: using more fingers does not necessarily reduce search times

KE Overvliet, JBJ Smeets, E Brenner - Experimental Brain Research, 2007 - Springer
Two haptic serial search tasks were used to investigate how the separations between items,
and the number of fingers used to scan them, influence the search time and search strategy …

Perceptual grouping in haptic search: The influence of proximity, similarity, and good continuation.

KE Overvliet, RT Krampe… - Journal of Experimental …, 2012 - psycnet.apa.org
We conducted a haptic search experiment to investigate the influence of the Gestalt
principles of proximity, similarity, and good continuation. We expected faster search when …

Relative finger position influences whether you can localize tactile stimuli

KE Overvliet, HA Anema, E Brenner… - Experimental Brain …, 2011 - Springer
To investigate whether the relative positions of the fingers influence tactile localization,
participants were asked to localize tactile stimuli applied to their fingertips. We measured the …

Sequential search asymmetry: Behavioral and psychophysiological evidence from a dual oddball task

EG Blundon, SP Rumak, LM Ward - Plos One, 2017 - journals.plos.org
We conducted five experiments in order to explore the generalizability of a new type of
search asymmetry, which we have termed sequential search asymmetry, across sensory …

Local and global processing in blind and sighted children in a naming and drawing task

I Puspitawati, A Jebrane, A Vinter - Child development, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
This study investigated the spatial analysis of tactile hierarchical patterns in 110 early‐blind
children aged 6–8 to 16–18 years, as compared to 90 blindfolded sighted children, in a …

The role of item fixation in haptic search

MA Plaisier, IA Kuling, WMB Tiest… - World Haptics 2009 …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Enclosing objects in the hand is a common and efficient way of haptic exploration. Recently,
the importance of grasping for more realistic haptic perception of virtual objects has been …

Grouping by proximity in haptic contour detection

KE Overvliet, RT Krampe, J Wagemans - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
We investigated the applicability of the Gestalt principle of perceptual grouping by proximity
in the haptic modality. To do so, we investigated the influence of element proximity on haptic …

The effect of perceptual grouping on haptic numerosity perception

K Verlaers, J Wagemans, KE Overvliet - Attention, Perception, & …, 2015 - Springer
We used a haptic enumeration task to investigate whether enumeration can be facilitated by
perceptual grouping in the haptic modality. Eight participants were asked to count tangible …

Behavioural and electrophysiological evidence for the effect of target-distractor separation in a tactile search task

E Gherri, B Zhao, E Ambron - Biological Psychology, 2021 - Elsevier
Evidence suggests that the N140cc component of event-related potentials (ERP) observed
in tactile search tasks reflects the attentional selection of the target. Here, we investigated …
