| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many studies have shown that people may have the ability to extract summary statistics over objects/events in a set. However, it has also been shown that different processes may be involved depending on the stimulus types. This study tested whether there might be a common mechanism for summary statistics between visual, auditory, and tactile modalities using stimuli characterized by prothetic continua. The visual stimuli consisted of a series of circles of different sizes; the auditory stimuli consisted of pure tones with different sound intensities; the tactile stimuli consisted of vibrotactile stimulation with different intensities. We tested precision and bias in extracting the average value of the sequence in each modality and performed correlation analysis among them. The results showed significant correlations between precisions in auditory and tactile conditions but negligible correlations between those in auditory and visual and tactile and visual conditions.
