“…This distance matching method of adjustment is probably the most widely used method of realistic outdoor distance estimation (Chapanis & Mankin 1967;Higashiyama 1996;Yang et al 1999;Jackson & Cormack 2007). Participants stood next to the vertical surface and directed a research assistant to walk away until the distance from the research assistant to the vertical surface looked equal to the height of the vertical surface (figure 1).…”

“…The descent illusion ( Jackson & Cormack 2007) is the phenomenon wherein observers overestimate heights more from above than below. The descent illusion is thought to reflect the greater likelihood and severity of falling while descending than while ascending.…”

“…Human studies suggest that vertical distances are overestimated when looking down from the top [38,[70][71][72], and this overestimation of distance is associated with fear of heights [71,73]. The falling cost from downward slope would appear much higher than from upward slopes [38][39]43].…”
