(Toyohashi University of Technology) Researchers from University of Toyama and Toyohashi University of Technology have found that social contingency modulates one's perceptual representation of the environment. Participants who could display an image of a smiling person with the button press were found to perceive an afterimage of the same person smaller than participants who were unable to display the smiling image. Thus, when one's own action affects another's reaction, the perceptual distance between self and other will shorten.
