Localizing the Spatial Localization System: Helmholtz or Gibson?
Abstract
McCloskey and a team of authors (1995) documented a fascinating deficit involving the localization of objects When subject A H reaches for objects placed in different positions, she is often wrong about direction but not amount An object located 30° to her left, say, might cause her to reach 30° to the right The authors demonstrated that her motor abilities are flawless and that the errors are genuinely in vision But precisely where in the visual localization process does the deficit occur?
