  • Title: The construction of a plane from pictorial information.
    Author: Rock I, Wheeler D, Shallo J, Rotunda J.
    Journal: Perception; 1982; 11(4):463-75. PubMed ID: 7182804.
    Abstract:
    Experiments are described which support the theory that the perception of a plane receding in depth is based on a process of construction. Displays were created which eliminated direct or higher-order stimulus information concerning the orientation of a plane, such as texture gradients or perspective. Instead, objects and the shadows they cast sufficed to suggest and support a depth interpretation. The perceived location of objects on this constructed plane affects size perception thereby providing evidence for a computational rather than a direct theory of constancy.
