}Six experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that overestimation of vertical distance is a pervasive phenomenon. The experiments involved judgments of: (a) vertical distance looking upward; (b) vertical distance looking downward; (c) the slope of a real hill; (d) the recalled slopes of streets; (e) the magnitudes of angles drawn on paper; (f) the distances to afterimages projected into the sky. The results showed that a very strong illusion of overestimation of both vertical distance… CONTINUE READING
