Results from Exp. 1. (A) Percent overestimation [i.e., (100 × judged length − actual length)/actual length] of finger lengths. Clear underestimation was observed, increasing from the radial (thumb) to the ulnar (little finger) side of the hand. Error bars are 1 SEM. (B) Percent overestimation of spacing between pairs of knuckles. Clear overestimation was observed. (C) Shape indices (100 × width/length) quantifying overall aspect ratio of the hand for the actual hand, the conscious body image measured by template matching, and the body model measured by localization judgments. (D) GPS of landmark positions for actual hands (black dots/black lines) and the body model inferred from localization judgments (white dots/dotted lines). Solid line indicates mean shape of actual hand; dotted line indicates mean shape of body model. (E) Average actual hand shape superposed on a rectangular coordinate grid. (F) Thin-plate spline depicting body model as a deformation of the actual hand.
