This study investigated how attention affects the perception of parallel surfaces through touch alone. The researchers hypothesized that directing attention to one's hands would increase weighting of the egocentric reference frame. In the treatment condition, participants' hands were traced for 20 seconds before assessing parallelism, while controls sat for 20 seconds. Results showed treatment participants performed significantly better, suggesting attention to one's hands enhances reliance on the egocentric reference frame for haptic spatial tasks. Future research could explore individual differences and alternative ways of manipulating attention.
