Resumen
Active Perception perspectives claim that action is closely related to perception. An empirical approach that supports these theories is the minimalist, in which participants perform a task using an interface that provides minimal information. Their exploratory movements are crucial to generating a meaningful sequence of information. Previous studies analyzed sensorimotor trajectories describing qualitative strategies and linear quantification of participants’ movement performance, but that approach struggles to capture the behavior of non-stationary data. In the present study, we applied the recurrence plot (RP) and recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) to study the structure of sensorimotor trajectories developed by participants trying to discriminate between two invisible geometric shapes (Triangle or Rectangle). The exploratory movements were made using a computer mouse and sonification-mediated feedback was provided, which depended exclusively on whether the pointer was inside or outside the shape. We applied RP and RQA to the sensorimotor trajectories, with the aim of studying their fine structure characteristics, focusing on their repetitive patterns. Recurrence analysis proved to be useful for quantifying differences in dynamic behavior that emerge when participants explore invisible virtual geometric shapes. The differences obtained in RQA-based measures associated with the vertical structures allowed to postulate the existence of particular exploration strategies for each figure. It was also possible to determine that the complexity of the dynamics changed according to the shape. We discuss these results in light of antecedents in haptic and visual perceptual exploration.
