AB - In 7 experiments, undergraduates judged the force exerted by a videotaped standing puller, acomputer-generated (stick-figure) puller, or a computer-generated inverted pendulum. Single andstepwise multiple regression analyses determined the kinematic variables exploited by theparticipants. Results show that (a) judgments correlated highly with force and improved withfeedback; (b) judgments correlated more highly with lower order kinematic variables than withforce itself; (c) participants differed in the kinematic variables exploited; (d) participantschanged over blocks of trials in the variables exploited; (e) some participants used compoundkinematic variables; (f) the variables exploited depended on the type of feedback; and (g)judgments to upright pullers, inverted pullers, and simple pendula showed the same qualitativepatterns. Implications for theories of direct perception, directed perception, and heuristicsare considered.
