Velocity production in the absence of speedometer information was investigated as a function of car size. In the first experiment three vehicles of different sizes were driven by 30 subjects; in the second experiment a different sample of 20 subjects used their own vehicles, which were classified into two size categories. In both experiments subjects were required to drive under conditions of normal and attenuated auditory feedback. The results indicated a greater production accuracy in small compared with large cars and a tendency for drivers of small cars to make greater use of auditory information. The results are discussed in the context of the relative contribution of different sensory channels to the subjective scale of speed.
在没有速度计信息的情况下，对速度产生情况作为汽车尺寸的函数进行了研究。在第一个实验中，30名受试者驾驶三辆不同尺寸的车辆；在第二个实验中，20名不同的受试者使用他们自己的车辆，这些车辆被分为两个尺寸类别。在两个实验中，受试者都被要求在正常和减弱的听觉反馈条件下驾驶。结果表明，与大型汽车相比，小型汽车的速度产生准确性更高，并且小型汽车的驾驶员有更多利用听觉信息的倾向。在不同感觉通道对速度主观量表的相对贡献的背景下对结果进行了讨论。
