Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, background): “When the participants were instructed that “they would be seeing and feeling identical halves of the same object” (p. 121), their performance on the shape matching task demonstrated visual dominance (e.g., Rock and Victor, 1964).”
Knowledge about a Common Source Can Promote Visual — Haptic Integration (2007, methodology): “Rock and Victor (1964) and many others (eg Derrick and Dewar 1970; McDonnell and Duffett 1972; Miller 1972) precluded a direct view of the hand while exploring the object because they assumed that if participants were allowed to see their (distorted) hand they could become aware of the intersensory…”
Again, Knowledge of Common Source Fails to Promote Visual-Haptic Integration (2014, methodology): “Investigations of intersensory interactions often provide diff erent sensory modalities with discordant inputs about an object's property ( Rock & Victor, 1964 ; Helbig & Ernst, 2007 ).”
Too Exciting to Fail, Too Sincere to Succeed: The Effects of Brand Personality on Sensory Disconfirmation (2016, unknown): “This phenomenon has a long history and has been demonstrated in judgments of an object’s curvature (Gibson 1933), size (Rock and Victor 1964), length (Teghtsoonian and Teghtsoonian 1970), location (Hay, Pick, and Ikeda 1965; Pick, Warren, and Hay 1969), depth (Ho et al. 2009; Singer and Day 1969),…”
When vision ‘extinguishes’ touch in neurologically-normal people: extending the Colavita visual dominance effect (2008, background): “…on visuotactile interactions has shown that while vision dominates over touch under certain conditions (e.g., Gibson 1943; Rock and Harris 1967; Rock and Victor 1964), touch dominates over vision in many others (e.g., Ernst and Banks 2002; Guest and Spence 2003; Lederman et al. 1986; see…”
Combined shape, appearance and silhouette for simultaneous manipulator and object tracking (2012, background): “Since vision can provide a large amount of information for accurate pose registration [3], many researchers have naturally used vision in one way or another for robotic grasping and manipulation.”
Passive haptics significantly enhances virtual environments (2001, background): “For example, in a study by Rock and Victor (1964) , the”
Haptic guidance: experimental evaluation of a haptic training method for a perceptual motor skill (2002, background): “The concept of visual dominance or visual capture placed kinesthesis at a significant disadvantage (e.g., [5] [6]).”
Haptic Retargeting: Dynamic Repurposing of Passive Haptics for Enhanced Virtual Reality Experiences (2016, background): “In Rock and Victor’s study [31], participants holding an object through a cloth while viewing the same object through a distorting lens believed the object was most similar to the distorted visual image, rather than the shape that they felt.”
Multimodal contributions to body representation (2016, background): “However, in humans, vision has traditionally been considered the dominant sense as well as the most reliable in terms of spatial perception (Power and Graham, 1976; Rock and Victor, 1964).”
The use of visual feedback, in particular mirror visual feedback, in restoring brain function. (2009, background): “A particularly compelling example was discovered by the pioneering experimental psychologist Rock and Victor (1964). They found that vision dominates touch and proprioception; if an object was made to merely LOOK large using Table 2 Clinical studies of mirror therapy”
Simulating Haptic Feedback Using Vision: A Survey of Research and Applications of Pseudo-Haptic Feedback (2009, background): “Under these conditions, Berthoz suggested that sensory illusion should not be considered as an error or wrong solution, but rather as the “ best possible hypothesis” (Berthoz, 1998).”
Projecting sensations to external objects: evidence from skin conductance response (2003, background): “The subject then experiences the uncanny illusion that the touch sensations are actually felt in the spatial location of the dummy hand—not from the hidden real hand! The authors interpret this as an example of the brain’s tolerance for discrepancy between vision and proprioception, with vision domi”
