TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Representation of spatial structure in reaching to a visual target JO - Journal of experimental psychology: human perception and performance A1 - Cook, M. A1 - Griffiths, K. SP - 1041 EP - 1056 VL - 17 IS - 4 N2 - Reaches made without feedback to positions on an object's surface reflect the spatial form of the surface. In Experiment 1, the reaching pattern varied with the stimulus surface's spatial attributes, consistent with a point-by-point perceptual representation of the surface. In Experiment 2, systematic reaching errors were determined solely by target position regardless of surface structure, implying a highly consistent representation of location. In Experiment 3, illusory slant was imparted to a surface by an aniseikonic lens. Individual variations in directly judged slant were reflected in the reaching pattern, implying organization of local perceptual representation of location and global perception of spatial attributes of the stimulus into a coherent structure.
