We examined the processes that mediate the emergence of action-specific influences on perception that have recently been reported for baseball batting and golf putting (Witt, Linkenauger, Bakdash, & Proffitt, 2008; Witt & Proffitt, 2005). To this end, we used a Schokokusswurfmaschine: Children threw a ball at a target, which, if hit successfully, launched a ball that the children then had to catch. In two experiments, children performed either a throwing-and-catching task or a throwing-only task, in which no ball was launched. After each task, the size of the target or of the ball was estimated. Results indicate that action-specific influences on perceived size occur for objects that are related to the end goal of the action, but not for objects that are related to intermediate action goals. These results suggest that action-specific influences on perception are contingent upon the primary action goals to be achieved.
我们考察了最近在棒球击球和高尔夫推杆中报告的、特定于动作的知觉影响出现的中介过程（Witt、Linkenauger、Bakdash 和 Proffitt，2008；Witt 和 Proffitt，2005）。为此，我们使用了一种巧克力投掷机：孩子们将球投向目标，如果成功击中，目标就会发射出一个球，然后孩子们必须接住这个球。在两个实验中，孩子们要么执行投掷和接球任务，要么执行仅投掷任务，在后者中没有球被发射。在每次任务之后，孩子们会估计目标或球的大小。结果表明，对于与动作的最终目标相关的物体，会出现特定于动作的知觉影响，但对于与中间动作目标相关的物体则不会。这些结果表明，特定于动作的知觉影响取决于要实现的主要动作目标。
