Body sway and vision.
Abstract
A series of 13 experiments was carried out in an investigation of the relation between body sway and vision. Elimination of vision by closing the eyes or by complete darkness produced an average increase in sway of about 100%. When the Ss wore distorting lenses (+5 diopters) or were tested under low illumination, smaller but significant increases in sway were obtained. Small increases were obtained when the Ss observed moving objects. The observation of a swinging pendulum produced a marked increase, particularly in lateral sway. Fixation on near or distant stationary objects produced no significant decrease in sway. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

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.
