Ss viewed trapezoids and made absolute judgments of their degree of tilt around a vertical axis. The trapezoids were equal in horizontal length but the ratio of their vertical edges was 15:16 or 13:16. The height in the frontal plane of the midpoint of the shorter vertical edge varied from above (positive) to below (negative) the midpoint height of the longer vertical edge. Two extremes in the type of function to expect were predicted on the basis of past experimentation and geometric considerations. It was found that as the relative midpoint height went from negative to positive, perceived tilt increased linearly except for a brief reversal in the 15:16 condition. Perceived tilt was shown to be greater, but with some overlap, for the 13:16 trapezoids.

It is known that monocular depth cues become much less effective under isoluminance. One of these depth cues, occlusion, gives rise to surface completion. A study is reported in which the loss of completion under isoluminance was tested. A pair of horizontally aligned bars of different lengths is detected automatically in a display filled with pairs of bars of the same length. The pair is detected serially, when vertical bars are placed over the gaps between the pairs. Because the vertical bars are occluders, and the pairs of horizontal bars are aligned, completion behind the vertical bars takes place and the two parts together behave perceptually as a single bar. We used this knowledge to measure completion under isoluminance. When occlusion is lost under isoluminance, we expect that an occluding surface, isoluminant with the background, will not lead to object completion and as a consequence, the pair with unequal lengths of the parts will pop out. Using this procedure we have demonstrated that completion is lost under isoluminance.

Four experiments are reported on the identification of line drawings of common objects. In each experiment, performance on “unconventional” views of the objects, in which the major axis of the object was foreshortened, was compared to performance on more “conventional” views without appreciable foreshortening. In each experiment, except Experiment 2, where performance on the two views was experimentally equated, the foreshortened views were more difficult to identify than were the conventional views. Experiments 1 and 2 showed that if the foreshortened views were presented on a background with strong monocular depth cues, object identification was improved. This result suggests that part of the difficulty in identifying objects depicted from such a view stems from an improper depth interpretation of the object depictions. Experiments 3 and 4 examined visual field differences in the identification of the two types of object view. Results reported in the neuropsychological literature have shown that people with right-hemisphere damage have particular difficulty with the identification of unconventional views of objects that foreshorten major axes. Accordingly, it was expected that there would be a left visual field advantage for the foreshortened views. Neither experiment yielded any visual field effects consistent with this expectation. Possible reasons for the lack of a field effect are discussed.
