Abstract
By analogy with Stavrianos' (1945) finding for linear perspective, it was proposed that the effectiveness of foreshortening as a slant cue would increase as a function of visual angle. Surfaces of vertical lines slanted around a vertical axis were monocularly viewed at three horizontal visual angles and four angles of slant. An adjustment method was used to record apparent slant. An analysis of variance showed significant F ratios for visual angle and angle of slant thus supporting the hypothesis that increasing visual angle increases the effectiveness of slant judgments. However, subjects' verbal reports indicated that slant may not be perceived when only foreshortening is available as a cue.
