Thirteen airline pilots were studied to determine the effect of preceding rotary accelerations on the choice reaction time to the horizontal acceleration of a vertical line on a cathode-ray tube. On each trial, one of three levels of ratary and visual acceleration was presented with the ratary stimulus preceding the visual by one of seven periods. The two accelerations were always equal and were presented in the same or opposite directions. The reaction time was found to increase with increases in the time the rotary acceleration preceded the visual acceleration, and to decrease with increased levels of visual and rotary acceleration. The reaction time was found to be shorter when the accelerations were in the same direction than when they were in opposite directions. These results suggest that these findings are a special case of general effect that the authors have termed "gyrovisual modulation."
对13名航空公司飞行员进行了研究，以确定先前的旋转加速度对阴极射线管上垂直线水平加速度的选择反应时间的影响。在每次试验中，呈现三种旋转和视觉加速度水平之一，旋转刺激比视觉刺激提前七个时间段之一出现。两种加速度始终相等，并以相同或相反方向呈现。结果发现，反应时间随着旋转加速度先于视觉加速度的时间增加而增加，随着视觉和旋转加速度水平的提高而减少。还发现，当加速度方向相同时，反应时间比加速度方向相反时更短。这些结果表明，这些发现是作者所称的“陀螺视觉调制”这一一般效应的特殊情况。
