Card 6 / 25:
Many people experience nausea while traveling in a car, plane, or boat. How might you explain this as a function of sensory interaction?
When traveling by car, we often have visual information that suggests that we are in motion while our vestibular sense indicates that we’re not moving (assuming we’re traveling at a relatively constant speed). Normally, these two sensory modalities provide congruent information, but the discrepancy might lead to confusion and nausea. The converse would be true when traveling by plane or boat.
