Figure 2. Mean correct response times for collisions to the body versus the collisions to the head in Experiment 1.

Figure 2

Body collisions and head collisions represent trials where looming items coincided as the target ovals; body collisions represented looming items that originated from the 6 o' clock location and traveled towards the observer's body, while head collisions represented looming items in every other location that traveled toward the observer's head. Reaction times to body collisions (595.01 ms) were significantly faster than reaction times to head collisions (675.84 ms), t(33) = -3.08, p < 0.0001. Error bars represent s.e.m.
