Abstract: Co-speech gestures have been proposed to strengthen sensorimotor knowledge related to objects’ weight and manipulability. This pre-registered study ( https://www.osf.io/9uh6q/ ) was designed to explore how gestures affect memory for sensorimotor information through the application… read more here.

Abstract: In the size-weight illusion, the smaller object from two equally weighted objects is typically judged as being heavier. One explanation is that the mismatch between the weight expectation based on object size and actual sensory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/2041669518790275
Abstract: We report an illusion in which the felt weight of an object changes depending on whether a previously manipulated object was lighter or heavier. The illusion is not modulated by visual weight cues, yet it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0264830
Abstract: Measurements of human attitudes and perceptions have traditionally used numerical point judgments. In the present study, we compared conventional point estimates of weight with an interval judgment method. Participants were allowed to make step by… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5760
Abstract: The material-weight illusion (MWI) is one example in a class of weight perception illusions that seem to defy principled explanation. In this illusion, when an observer lifts two objects of the same size and mass,… read more here.
