Representational Momentum in Spatial Hearing

Abstract

The final position of a moving visual object usually appears to be displaced in the direction of motion. We investigated this phenomenon, termed representational momentum, in the auditory modality. In a dark anechoic environment, an acoustic target (continuous noise or noise pulses) moved from left to right or from right to left along the frontal horizontal plane. Listeners judged the final position of the target using a hand pointer. Target velocity was 8° s−1 or 16° s−1. Generally, the final target positions were localised as displaced in the direction of motion. With presentation of continuous noise, target velocity had a strong influence on mean displacement: displacements were stronger with lower velocity. No influence of sound velocity on displacement was found with motion of pulsed noise. Although these findings suggest that the underlying mechanisms may be different in the auditory and visual modality, the occurrence of displacements indicates that representational-momentum-like effects are not restricted to the visual modality, but may reflect a general phenomenon with judgments of dynamic events.
