Sentence examples for tactile configuration from inspiring English sources

On each trial of the experimental session, the tactile configuration consisted of stimulations of one target and three distractor fingers.

First, RTs were faster in old than in new tactile arrangements, an effect that became reliable after three epochs of learning (i.e., after five or six repetitions of each tactile configuration).

To balance the vibrotactile stimulations between the two hands, a given tactile configuration always involved one hand with two distractors and the other hand with one distractor and one target (see Fig.  2).

Furthermore, participants were unable to explicitly discriminate repeated from nonrepeated tactile configurations (Exps. 2 and 3).

Due to those limiting factors, the number of possible tactile configurations was reduced dramatically.

Experiment 2 was, additionally, designed to assess participants' explicit knowledge of the repeated tactile configurations.

Furthermore, the build-up of memory for repeated tactile configurations is an automatic process, in that it does not require explicit knowledge of any repeated configurations.

In Experiment 3, we examined whether RT benefits for old versus new tactile configurations were due to facilitated (learned) stimulus-to-response mappings or facilitated target selection.

Note that, given the limited number of tactile configurations available for the experimental session (see below), the practice session used stimulations of all eight fingers.

At the end of the experimental session, participants performed a "yes no" recognition task, meant to assess their explicit knowledge of the repeated tactile configurations.

The results were as follows: Response speed and accuracy were improved for old relative to new configurations in all three experiments, indicating that memory for repeated tactile configurations is acquired and subsequently expressed in tactile search.
