TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Simultaneous adaptation to size, distance, and curvature underwater JO - Human factors A1 - Vernoy, M. W. SP - 77 EP - 85 VL - 31 IS - 1 N2 - Perceptual adaptation to underwater size, distance, and curvature distortion was measured for four different adaptation conditions. These conditions consisted of (a) playing Chinese checkers underwater, (b) swimming with eyes open underwater, (c) viewing a square underwater, and (d) an air control. Significant adaptation to underwater distortions was recorded in all except the air control condition. In the viewing square condition a positive correlation between size and distance adaptation was noted. It was suggested that adaptation to curvature may have mediated the positive correlation. Possible applications for the training of divers are discussed. LA - SN - 0018-7208 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
