Does the passability of apertures change when walking through human versus pole obstacles?

AL Hackney, ME Cinelli, JS Frank - Acta psychologica, 2015 - Elsevier
The current study set out to evaluate how individuals walk through apertures created by
different stationary obstacles. Specifically, we examined whether the passability of apertures …

Ledge and wedge: Younger and older adults' perception of action possibilities

D Comalli, J Franchak, A Char, K Adolph - Experimental brain research, 2013 - Springer
The current study investigated whether younger (college-age) and older adults (60+ years)
differ in their ability to perceive safe and unsafe motor actions. Participants decided whether …

Is the critical point for aperture crossing adapted to the person-plus-object system?

AL Hackney, ME Cinelli, JS Frank - Journal of motor behavior, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
When passing through apertures, individuals scale their actions to their shoulder width and
rotate their shoulders or avoid apertures that are deemed too small for straight passage …

Predictability and variability of a dynamic environment impact affordance judgments
