Document Summary
Our own body (egocentric) representation can influence our perception of tactile information. This egocentric representation operates at all times regardless of any environmental stimulus -- you have a sense of where your body is at all times. You can touch your nose while closing your eyes without having to look into a mirror. P"s brought into lab and given two cubes to hold in their hands. The cubes can be pushed down like buttons. The task is called a temporal order judgement task where the cubes will vibrate one after the other and the p must push down which cube vibrated first. To make this task harder you can alter the duration between the first buzz and second buzz (it"s easy if there"s a lot of time in between). If you reduce the duration, p"s start to produce errors. Doing this with your hands in a regular anatomical position, the p"s are accurate.
