A brief review of the role of training in near-tool effects

Research suggests that, like near-hand effects, visual targets appearing near the tip of a hand-held real or virtual tool are treated differently than other targets. This paper reviews neurological and behavioural evidence relevant to near-tool effects and describes how the effect varies with the fu...
