Effect of perspective and slant on perception of apparent size and distance

An experiement was performed to re-examine the role of linear perspective and floor slant on apparent size and distance scales. Misleading perspective cues did not alter the observers' apparent distance scales but did influence the absolute magnitude of distance judgments; floor slant exerted little influence on apparent distance scales or the absolute magnitude of distance judgments. Neither perspective nor slant manipulation reliably affected apparent size scales or exerted more than a minor influence on the absolute magnitude of size judgments.
