The location of the egocenter in kinesthetic space was investigated in 4 experiments. Participants, with their eyes closed, adjusted a comparison stimulus after or while touching a standard in a transverse plane at the belly or shoulder level so that they perceived the line joining the comparison and the fixed standard as pointing directly at themselves. The mean location of the intersections of the obtained lines was taken as the location of the egocenter. The main results showed that the location of the kinesthetic egocenter depended on the hand or hands used for touching, the timing of touching, and the distance of the standard from the participant. Implications of these results were discussed in relation to models of the kinesthetic egocenter.
在4项实验中，对动觉空间中自我中心的位置进行了研究。参与者闭上眼睛，在腹部或肩部水平的横向平面上触摸标准刺激物之后或同时，调整一个比较刺激物，以便他们将连接比较刺激物和固定标准刺激物的直线感知为直接指向自己。所获得直线的交点的平均位置被视为自我中心的位置。主要结果表明，动觉自我中心的位置取决于用于触摸的一只或两只手、触摸的时间以及标准刺激物与参与者之间的距离。结合动觉自我中心的模型对这些结果的意义进行了讨论。
