From static to dynamic: how object rotation influences grasp decisions in ambiguous settings.

ABSTRACT: The hand grasp of an object is normally consistent, determined by the optimal, most efficient strategy learnt from previous experience. Yet in certain settings, despite object properties remaining constant and intention the same, the grasp chosen by an individual can vary with a lack of clear preference for a particular grasp configuration. This is referred to as motor ambiguity. Here, we compare the influence of preceding static versus dynamic visual information on participants' choice between two possible hand configurations when grasping an object at various orientations. We confirm previous findings that presentation of an object in an initial static orientation prior to the grasping in ambiguous orientation causes subjects to select a grasp that would be most congruent with the initia
