The central hypothesis of the work is that the dimension of control-no control plays an important role in motion sickness. Although it is generally agreed that having control over a moving vehicle greatly reduces the likelihood of motion sickness, few studies have addressed this issue directly, and the theoretical explanation for this phenomenon is not completely clear. In this study, we equated groups differing in controllability for head movement, vision, activity, and predictability, which have often been suggested in the literature as explanations for the driver's immunity to motion sickness. Twenty-two pairs of yoked subjects were exposed to nauseogenic rotation. One subject of each pair had control over the rotation and head movements, while the other was exposed passively to the same motion stimulus. Subjects who had control reported significantly fewer motion sickness symptoms and less of a decrement in their well-being, as compared to the yoked subject without control. The results are discussed in relation to Reason's sensory rearrangement theory and the concept of feed-forward mechanisms in motion perception.
这项研究的核心假设是，控制与非控制的维度在晕动病中起着重要作用。虽然人们普遍认为对行驶车辆拥有控制权能大大降低晕动病的发生可能性，但很少有研究直接探讨这个问题，而且对这一现象的理论解释也不完全清楚。在本研究中，我们使在头部运动、视觉、活动和可预测性方面可控性不同的几组受试者达到均等条件，这些因素在文献中常被认为是驾驶员对晕动病具有免疫力的解释。二十二对配对受试者接受致呕旋转刺激。每对中的一名受试者能够控制旋转和头部运动，而另一名则被动地接受相同的运动刺激。与无控制权的配对受试者相比，有控制权的受试者报告的晕动病症状明显较少，幸福感下降也较少。结合里森的感觉重新排列理论和运动感知中的前馈机制概念对结果进行了讨论。
