Evidence that sensory reweighting causes postural sway to have an increased dependence on vestibular noise

Hypothesized Cause for Lower Correlation	Comparison	Correlation Coefficients between ML Sway and Lateral Translation (r)	P Value for Higher r (one-sided)
A. Altered proprioceptive cues	SOT 4 vs. SOT 1	+0.74 vs. +0.36	0.044
	SOT 5 vs. SOT 2	+0.77 vs. −0.13	0.0008
	Combination of the above two comparisons		0.0004
B. Elimination of visual cues	SOT 2 vs. SOT 1	−0.13 vs. +0.36	0.96
	SOT 5 vs. SOT 4	+0.77 vs. +0.74	0.36
	Combination of the above two comparisons		0.72
C. Altered proprioceptive cues and elimination of visual cues	SOT 5 vs. SOT 1	+0.77 vs. +0.36	0.026

SOT, sensory organization test. P values show evidence that the correlation coefficient is significantly larger (Pearson–Filon statistic (57); combination of two P values is implemented using Fisher’s method). A., B., and C. denote three different hypotheses.
