Relationship between perceptual style and simulator sickness

Abstract

HYPOTHESIZED SIMULATOR SICKNESS TO BE CAUSED BY THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE VISUAL PRESENTATION OF APPARENT MOTION AND THE LACK OF ANY CORRESPONDING BODY SENSATION OF MOTION. THIS WAS TESTED BY CORRELATING INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN SCORES ON THE ROD AND FRAME TEST (RFT) AND DEGREE OF SIMULATOR SICKNESS. THE DATA FOR SERIES 3 OF THE RFT AND THE INDEXES OF SICKNESS WERE BEST REPRESENTED BY HYPERBOLIC FUNCTIONS YIELDING CORRELATIONS OF .40-.52. IMPLICATIONS FOR SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY AND FOR A GENERAL CONFLICT OF CUE THEORY ARE DISCUSSED. (22 REF.) (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
