Abstract(in English) The human pereives the condition of arm configuration using visual and somatic information. It is known that the visual perception of hand position is not consistent with the somatic perception. It has been believed that the perceptive errors of hand positions are caused by joint angle information introduced from proprioceptive sensation. In this study, we suggest that perceptive errors are also generated in kinematic transform; the human perceives that the arm length is shorther than the actual arm length. Psychophysical experiments were carried out to investigate the perceptive errors in arm length and joint angle. In addition, the reasonableness of two causes were investigated with computer simulation. The results suggest that the perceptive errors of hand position are caused by the perceptive errors in arm length and joint angle.
