“…Depth information is provided by hard-wired mechanisms such as stereopsis and convergence (Gogel & Tietz, 1979;Gulick & Lawson, 1976) and local cues such as motion parallax, overlap, and perspective (Farber & McConkie, 1979; E. J. Gibson, J. J. Gibson, Smith, & Flock, 1959;Goodson, Snider, & Swearingen, 1980). The unconscious inference of depth through these cues is the basis of the classical explanation of space perception.…”

Eight observers judged the location of 13 objects in an open field by drawing a map of the scene, estimating absolute distances between objects, and rank ordering subsets of distances. Half the observers made judgments twice from the same position while the rest moved 90°around the scene before making the second set of judgments. Scaled judgments showed a strong visible similarity to the actual spatial layout of the scene. Observer judgments changed significantly as a function of observer position. A portion of this effect was due to a perceptual shortening of radial distances. These results were taken to support the classical psychophysical model of space perception rather than a strong ecological model and to emphasize the importance of the subjective element of visual space perception.
