GOMES DE CASTRO, Thiago; MATIAZO PINHATTI, Marcelle; PINTO PIZARRO DE FREITAS, Clarissa y BARBOSA GOMES, William. Spatial numerical estimates within proprioceptive recalibration. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.1, pp.180-187. ISSN 1695-2294. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.33.1.229671.
Research in cognitive psychology has emphasized that the body's position in space and patterns of visual searching for stimuli are crucial variables to explain the ability to estimate distances numerically. In this paper, we tested the hypothesis that proprioception recalibration interferes in the ability to numerically estimate fixed peri-personal space. The Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) experimental paradigm was applied as a tool to temporally manipulate the sense of proprioception in participant's right hand. Seventeen college students were asked to estimate horizontal fixed spatial cues before and after two conditions of tactile stimulation within RHI (synchronous versus asynchronous stroking). Results evidenced that proprioceptive recalibration of the hand were temporally altered by both stroking patterns. However, the effects of numerically estimate fixed horizontal cues towards the body midline were only consistently observed in the synchronous stroking condition. These findings suggest that numerical estimates of peripersonal fixed cues are strongly associated with proprioceptive recalibration, corroborating the literature on multisensory integration of perception.
