Direct linkLozano, Sandra C.; Martin Hard, Bridgette; Tversky, Barbara – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
People often learn actions by watching others. The authors propose and test the hypothesis that perspective taking promotes encoding a hierarchical representation of an actor's goals and subgoals-a key process for observational learning. Observers segmented videos of an object assembly task into coarse and fine action units. They described what…

Rock, Paul B.; Harris, Mike G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
D. N. Lee (1976) described a braking strategy based on optical expansion in which the driver brakes so that the target's time-to-contact declines around a constant slope in the range -0.5 less than or equal to tau less than 0. The present results from a series of braking simulations confirm and extend earlier reports (E. H. Yilmaz & W. H. Warren,…
