Abstract
This study investigates the effect of angular and translatory acceleration on the estimation of angular displacement during and after constant passive rotation. Subjects were tested in standing or lying attitude. Because these experiments were part of a study on human navigation (Mittelstaedt and Glasauer, 1991) experimental conditions remained largely within the range of everyday movements.
