L'uso di stimoli ecologicamente validi nella percezione visiva di superfici inclinate: un contributo teorico

Visual inclination underestimation is a well known phenomenon in which the inclination of a surface is perceived by the observer as less inclined with respect to the frontoparallel plane. This phenomenon is a common finding, but in spite of many attempts to explain it, it has not yet received a valid interpretation. Our perception of natural inclined surfaces depends on a variety of depth cues, so the claim is that it would be useful to employ more ecological stimuli like hills or urban roads instead of simple and artificial stimuli like figure outlines or random dots pattern.
