The effect of training on the perceived approach angle in visual vertical heading judgements in a virtual environment
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Experimental Brain Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s00221-020-05841-8
Abstract: Past studies have found poorer performance on vertical heading judgement accuracy compared to horizontal heading judgement accuracy. In everyday life, precise vertical heading judgements are used less often than horizontal heading judgements as we cannot… read more here.
