Figure 7

(a) A (side view) schematic of the layout used in the control experiment to test the equidistance tendency phenomenon explanation. In the far-wall condition shown, a brick wall (0.5m × 1m) was placed beyond the test-target. The distance of the far brick wall to the testtarget was always set at half the physical distance between the observer and the test-target. To respond to the perceived distance, the observer turned around by 180° to view the grass-textured field and performed a distance-matching task. (b) The average results indicate that no systematic distance overestimation was found in the far-wall condition compared to the homogeneoustexture condition (n=8).
