Abstract In this paper, we present the results of a pilot study that examines whether restricting how people can explore objects haptically effects the object attributes they notice and the efficiency with which they can perform a simple sorting task. 25 observers were each randomly assigned to one of five exploration conditions: two hands (the control), one hand, thumb/forefinger, one finger, or probe. All observers performed a series of two-bin sorts. Stimuli were eight multi-propertied cubes which could be divided into two equal bins according to three properties: size, texture, and compliance. Preliminary results indicate that the restrictions on manual exploration we imposed affected both the exploratory procedures observers chose to use and the efficiency with which they could perform the task. Haptic interface designs inevitably restrict the exploratory procedures available to the user. This study attempts to determine the cost of these restrictions on the efficiency with which a user can explore multi-propertied objects in a virtual or telepresence environment.

The lakeshores of western Switzerland are one of Europe's best-known Neolithic settlement areas, thanks to dendrochronological dating and the exceptional preservation of organic materials. Against this outstanding background, this study uses zooarchaeological data to answer a series of questions regarding the Neolithic economy, environment and human-environment interactions at these lakeshore sites. It also discusses, within an interdisciplinary framework, the possible impact climatic fluctuations, cultural influence, topographical conditions, and demographic growth had on economic change. The results show that the faunal economy was mainly based on animal husbandry, with fluctuations in the cattle-pig ratio. Hunting also played an important role in the food system and focused mainly on large game, especially red deer, which contributed significantly to the meat supply. The results from comparing these animal bone remains also show that multiple factors, such as topography, climatic conditions, and cultural influence, played a part in the socio-economic organisation of the Neolithic communities. Exploratory procedures such as correspondence analysis support these interpretations.

A conceptual model of the human haptic system in relation to object identification is presented. The model encompasses major architectural elements including representations of haptically accessible object properties and exploratory procedures (EPs)—dedicated movement patterns that are specialized to extract particular properties. These architectural units are related in processing-specific ways. Properties are associated with exploratory procedures in keeping with the extent to which a given procedure delivers information about a given property. The EPs are associated with one another in keeping with their compatibility, as determined by parameters of motor execution and interactions with the object and the workspace. The resulting architecture is treated as a system of constraints which guide the exploration of an object during the course of identification. The selection of the next step in a sequence of exploration requires that constraints be optimally satisfied. A network approach to constraint satisfaction is implemented and shown to account for a number of previous empirical results concerning the time course of exploration, object classification speed, and incidental learning about object properties. This system has potential applications for robotic haptic exploration.
