The current study comprises the first systematic meta-analysis of weight illusions. We
obtained descriptive data from studies in which subjective heaviness estimates were made …

Purpose This paper aims to study the cross-modal correspondence between a visual
stimulus (ie glossiness), haptic perception and consumers' reactions (internal responses …

Stimuli associated with large quantities are typically responded to faster with a right-than a
left-side key, whereas stimuli associated with small quantities are typically responded to …

Smaller numbers are typically responded to faster with a bottom than a top key, whereas the
opposite occurs for larger numbers (a vertical spatial–numerical association of response …

When judging the heaviness of two objects with equal mass, people perceive the smaller
and denser of the two as being heavier. Despite the large number of theories, covering …

The material-weight illusion (MWI) occurs when an object that looks heavy (eg, stone) and
one that looks light (eg, Styrofoam) have the same mass. When such stimuli are lifted, the …

Little is known about how human perception is affected using an upper-limb prosthesis. To
shed light on this topic, we investigated how using an upper-limb prosthesis affects …

In the size–weight illusion, when two objects of identical weight but different volume are
lifted, the smaller object is typically perceived to weigh more than the larger object. A well …

It is well established that manipulations of low-level stimulus properties unrelated to mass
can impact perception of heaviness, the most famous example being the size-weight illusion …

In the size-weight illusion (SWI), the smaller of two same-weight, same apparent material
objects is perceived as heavier. The SWI has proved difficult to explain via traditional …
