  • Title: Changes in trunk orientation do not induce asymmetries in covert orienting.
    Author: Westwood DA, Jones SA, Cowper-Smith CD, Klein RM.
    Journal: Atten Percept Psychophys; 2013 Aug; 75(6):1193-205. PubMed ID: 23666630.
    Abstract:
    We explored the effect of trunk orientation on responses to visual targets in five experiments, following work suggesting a disengage deficit in covert orienting related to changes in the trunk orientation of healthy participants. In two experiments, participants responded to the color of a target appearing in the left or right visual field following a peripheral visual cue that was informative about target location. In three additional experiments, participants responded to the location (left/right) of a target using a spatially compatible motor response. In none of the experiments did trunk orientation interact with spatial-cuing effects, suggesting that orienting behavior is not affected by the rotation of the body relative to the head. Theoretical implications are discussed.
