Can You Feel What You Expect? How A-Modal Information Affects Haptic Perception
We investigate the effect of a-modal information on haptic perception. Specifically, we examine how positive (vs. negative) social information affects softness perception. Results reveal that positive social information leads to higher softness ratings. We show that individuals high in instrumental need for touch are less influenced by social information.
