Geometric transformations of pictured space.

In general, a picture can represent a specific environment of scene only when the picture is seen from a unique viewing point. The determination of this unique point and of the distortions that occur when the picture is viewed from other points is crucial to all aspects of pictorial perception. To clarify the effects of the point of observation on pictorial space, the present paper discusses how the correct point may be calculated, provides a geometric analysis of the effects of altering the viewing point, and briefly reviews the effects of such alterations on space perception.

Intermodal relationships in children's perception.

Since judgment of geographical slant requires the use of both optical and postural information, such judgments were used to determine whether intermodal relationships affect children's perception. First, third, and fifth graders made judgments of geographical slant of surfaces depicted in photographs either with or without postural inclination. The results indicate the existence of a linear mechanism which compensates for the effect of postural inclination. Compensation was about 50% of that expected from an ideal perceptual system and did not change with age. The present data are similar to those previously reported for adults and suggest that the compensation process develops early in childhood.
