Spatial perception is one of the basic cognitive functions.The accurate perception of the living environment is the prerequisite for survival and activity.Recent research has found that individual perception of space does not entirely depend on the received visual information.Physical state or sensory experience of the body also participates in the process of spatial perception and affects spatial perception.However,this research result is still being questioned.The research result is considered to be due to the main test effect,not the difference caused by the independent variables,and the experimental results cannot be copied.No matter the research on cognitive development or people's daily life,spatial perception plays an important role,so it is very meaningful to understand the inner mechanism of spatial perception.Based on previous research,this study attempts to explore the effect of weight on spatial perception through three experiments.In experiment 1,a mixed experiment design of two factors was used.The subjects were 60 college students.The subjects were divided into two groups(heavy backpack,light backpack),and the heavy backpack group carried a heavy backpack(5kg)The light backpack group carries a lighter backpack(1kg),and then completes the space perception task(slope judgment,distance judgment)as required.The experimental results show that the subjects with heavy backpacks think that the slope of the perception task is steeper and farther than the subjects with light backpacks.Experiment 2 examined the effect of different weights on individual spatial perception.Two factor mixed experimental design was used.The test subjects were 60 college students.The body mass index(BMI)was used as the weight grouping standard.The test subjects were divided into 30super-recombination subjects and 30 normal recombination subjects.The experimental results found that for the same spatial perception task,the value of super-recombination judgment on slope or distance is significantly higher than that of normal body reorganization.Experiment 3examines whether space perception will affect the subject's subjective weight by manipulating the difficulty of different space tasks.Experiment 3 uses a single factor test room design.The test object is 70 college students.The test participants are randomly divided into two groups.The difficulty of the spatial perception task between the two groups of subjects is different.One group completes the low difficulty perception task,and the other group completes the high Difficulty perception task.The experimental results found that the scores of the subjects who completed the high difficulty perception task were significantly higher than those of the low difficulty task group.The main conclusions of the research:(1)Under the weight-bearing state,the individual will think that the slope in the space is steeper and farther away,verifying that the body's weight experience will affect the individual's spatial perception;(2)Body Mass Index(BMI)Different subjects have different perceptions of the same space,which proves the influence of different physical characteristics on spatial perception;(3)Difficulty of different spatial perceptions will affect the judgment of the individual's subjective weight,proving the difference between physical sensory experience and spatial judgment The impact is two-way.
