Observers (72 college students) estimated the size of plastic squares that they held in their fingers and simultaneously viewed through a reducing lens that halved the squares' visual size. The squares were grasped from below through a cloth that prevented direct sight of the hand. Each estimate was a match selected later, either haptically or visually, from a set of comparison squares. Vision dominated the visual estimates and touch dominated the haptic estimates, whether or not the observers knew in advance which type of estimate they would be asked to make. Neither modality inherently dominates perceived size.
观察者（72名大学生）估计他们用手指握住并同时通过一个将正方形视觉大小减半的缩小透镜观看的塑料正方形的大小。这些正方形是从下方透过一块布抓取的，这块布防止直接看到手。每次估计都是后来从一组比较正方形中通过触觉或视觉选择的匹配项。无论观察者事先是否知道他们将被要求进行哪种类型的估计，视觉在视觉估计中占主导，触觉在触觉估计中占主导。两种感觉方式都不会固有地主导感知大小。
