N2 - The authors investigated the mechanical basis of length perception through dynamic touch using specially designed rods in which the various moments of mass distribution (mass, static moment, and rotational inertia) were varied independently. In a series of 4 experiments, exploration style and rod orientation were manipulated such that the relative salience of moments of mass distribution varied markedly. Results showed that perceived length was based on the most salient moments. The authors concluded that the notion of salience is crucial for understanding the implication of moments of mass distribution in length perception and that it should play a pivotal role in developing an encompassing theory of dynamic touch.
