Motion sickness susceptibility

Golding, John F.·2006·Autonomic Neuroscience

Abstract

Motion sickness can be caused by a variety of motion environments (e.g., cars, boats, planes, tilting trains, funfair rides, space, virtual reality) and given a sufficiently provocative motion stimulus almost anyone with a functioning vestibular system can be made motion sick. Current hypotheses of the 'Why?' of motion sickness are still under investigation, the two most important being 'toxin detector' and the 'vestibular-cardiovascular reflex'. By contrast, the 'How?' of motion sickness is better understood in terms of mechanisms (e.g., 'sensory conflict' or similar) and stimulus properties (e.g., acceleration, frequency, duration, visual-vestibular time-lag). Factors governing motion sickness susceptibility may be divided broadly into two groups: (i) those related to the stimulus (motion type and provocative property of stimulus); and (ii) those related to the individual person (habituation or sensitisation, individual differences, protective behaviours, administration of anti-motion sickness drugs). The aim of this paper is to review some of the more important factors governing motion sickness susceptibility, with an emphasis on the personal rather than physical stimulus factors.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Chinese people are more sensitive to motion sickness than Caucasian people.

    “Chinese are more sensitive to MS than Caucasian [2].”

  • Golding's review emphasizes that many hypotheses and correlations exist but firm conclusions are lacking, and broader genetic knowledge is essential.

    “He emphasizes that, while there are many hypotheses and correlations, firm conclusions are lacking and broader knowledge of genetic factors will also be essential to a comprehensive understanding.”

  • There is a correlation of about .6-.8 between individual susceptibility in one motion environment and susceptibility in another.

    “Generally, there is a correlation of about .6–.8 between individual susceptibility in one motion environment and susceptibility in another (Golding 2006, Miller and Graybiel 1972).”

  • There are great individual differences in motion sickness susceptibility, thought to result from gene-environment interaction.

    “There are great individual differences in MS susceptibility, which is thought to be a result of gene-environment interaction [2].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
