Abstract(in English) We investigated whether tactile learning changes the weights of depth cues for the perception of slant. In the tactile learning phase, the tactile information was consistent with either binocular disparity or perspective information. We hypothesized that after the learning phase, the reliabitity of the cue consistent with the tactile information increase, and then the weight of the cue would increase. During the tactile learing phase, the subjects rotated the real circular paddle with both hands actively, and saw a virtual surface at the corresponding position of the real paddle through a mirror-stereoscope. One of the depth cue for the surface slant, disparity or perspective, was changing to synchronize with the rotation of the real paddle. The results showed that tactile learning can change the weights of depth cues, although the tendencies was inconsistent among the subjects. This suggests that the process of depth sue integration has plasticity.
