Vertical prism adaptation, but not sound presentation, modulates the visuospatial representation: A manual line-bisection study

Résumé

The present study aimed at testing whether vertical prism adaptation (PA) can modulate vertical visuospatial representation, assessed with a vertical manual line-bisection (MLB) task (Experiment 1). In a second time, we wanted to investigate the potential influence of sound presentation during such a task. Sound is a spatially valued element that has previously been reported to modify horizontal visuospatial representation. In Experiment 2, we presented either a high pitch, a low pitch, or no sound during the same MLB as in Experiment 1. With this experiment, we also searched for an eventual interaction between the effect of sound presentation and the potential cognitive aftereffects of vertical PA on visual representation.Both Experiments 1 and 2 were constructed with the same design and conducted with two distinct groups of young healthy right-handed participants. First, we assessed the initial sensorimotor state with an open-loop pointing task, and the initial representational state through a vertical MLB (with addition of sound for Experiment 2). Then participants were submitted to a 16-minute PA procedure and were tested again on the open-loop pointing task and the MLB to assess the aftereffects following prism removal.Our results showed sensorimotor aftereffects following both upward and downward PA, in a direction opposed to the optical deviation used. The early aftereffects measured following PA were symmetrical, but at the end of the experiment the residual aftereffects were smaller following downward PA than upward PA. We also provide a new insight on the aftereffects of vertical PA on visuospatial representation, showing that downward PA (but not upward PA) can produce an upward bias on the manual line-bisection task. This is the first proof of such cognitive aftereffects following vertical PA. However, we found no effect of sound presentation on the vertical visual space representation and no interaction between PA and sound presentation.
