Article Synopsis
- Peripersonal space (PPS) is the area around the body where we interact with objects and people, and it differs from extrapersonal space (EPS) which is further away; encoding of objects in these spaces can vary based on ownership.* -
- A study examined how quickly and accurately people could judge reaching for cups they owned versus those owned by others, finding that responses were faster for self-owned cups in both PPS and EPS.* -
- Errors were common but mostly corrected on the spot, with self-owned cups showing more efficient corrections in PPS, indicating that social context affects motor responses and decision-making regarding object ownership.*
Previous studies have shown that objects located in the peripersonal space (PPS) receive enhanced attention, as compared with extrapersonal space (EPS), However, most objects in the environment belong to someone in particular and how object ownership influences object coding in relation to PPS representation is still unclear. In the present study, after having chosen their own mug, participants performed a reachability judgement task of self-owned and other-owned mugs presented at different distances while facing a virtual character. This task was followed, on each trial, by a localisation task in which participants had to indicate where the mug, removed from view, was previously located.
