abstract = {* Background: Studies on path integration are constrained
by the factthat spatial distances are always perceived from
the vantage point ofthe body. A spatial distance cannot be
perceived per se, but only from the first person
perspective. This constraint potentially affects production
tasks, in which participants are asked to cover a
previouslylearned standard distance, and discrimination
tasks, in which participants have to compare the lengths of
two travelled paths. However, responses in reproduction
tasks are given while the participant ismoving along the
path to be estimated, whereas judgments in dis-crimination
tasks are required only after both distances have
beencompleted.* Aims: It was tested whether distance
reproduction and distance dis-crimination are differentially
affected by an egocentric coding ofspace.* Method: Using an
immersive virtual environment set-up, subjects performed
distance discrimination and reproduction tasks.
Interfer-ence with egocentric spatial coding was induced by
repetitive TMSover the right posterior parietal cortex
(PPC).Results: We report differential effects on the two
psychophysicaltasks. In distance discrimination, TMS
selectively decreased responsevariability, while the mean
accuracy of judgments was unaffected. Indistance
reproduction, TMS had a selective effect on judgment
accuracy, while response variability was not affected.*
Conclusions: Errors in distance reproduction do not coincide
with judgment accuracy, but rather with altered judgment
precision. These results allude to an inherent difference
between discrimination and reproduction tasks, which can be
traced back to a differential impactof the first person
perspective on spatial distance perception.},
