Abstract: Vestibular cognition is a growing field of interest and relatively little is known about the underlying mechanisms. We tested the effect of prior beliefs about the relative probability (50:50 vs. 80:20) of motion direction (yaw rotation) using a direction discrimination task. We analyzed choices individually with a logistic regression model and together with response times using a cognitive process model. The results show that self-motion perception is altered by prior belief, leading to a shift of the psychom… Show more

“…This information may be derived from other sensory modalities, such as vision or proprioception, from memory of recent movements ( 38 ) or prior knowledge obtained by verbal instruction ( 39 ). A recent study demonstrated that higher-level prior knowledge plays an important role in self-motion-related perception and decision-making ( 40 ). Thus, prior knowledge in different forms can affect vestibular perception.…”

“…Another line of evidence against the conventional framework for single-presentation methods comes from studies in which data are collected under different conditions or instructions aimed at manipulating the observers' decisional or response strategies. Admittedly, the effect of some of these manipulations are still compatible with the conventional framework as long as they can be interpreted as altering the location of criterion β (see, e.g., Allan, 2002;Ellis, Klaus, & Mast, 2017;Raslear, 1985;Wearden & Grindrod, 2003). Even with such allowance, this reveals an inescapable problem that will be discussed later, namely, that single-presentation methods confound sensory and decisional components of performance (see García-Pérez & Alcalá-Quintana, 2013) and leave researchers unable to figure out if they are observing a relevant result indicative of the characteristics of sensory processing (a feature of the psychophysical function) or an outcome reflecting only the effect of non-sensory factors (an influence of the location of the response criterion).…”

“…Earlier studies showed that motion perception is influenced by prior beliefs about the motion [4][5][6]. On the other hand, motion illusions, like vection, can be so powerful that they occur despite the fact the observer knows it is an illusion.…”

“…There is a growing body of evidence showing the bi-directional interactions between cognition and vestibular processing (see [1] for a review). For example, self-motion perception, and even ocular motor reflexes are affected by mental imaginary [2,3], or by prior expectations of the motion stimulus [4,5]. The cognitive context of the motion stimuli is also known to affect motion perception, as has been shown for the compelling sense of self-motion that can be induced by moving visual, or to a lesser extent, auditory stimuli (i.e., vection).…”
