Abstrakt: The hypothesis was that an acute angle preceded by a three-dimensional set will increase the likelihood of overestimation of that angle both absolutely and relative to the same angle preceded by a two-dimensional set or none. 60 subjects, using a mechanical estimator, estimated a 34° stimulus angle from a photograph in one of the three conditions in a one-way analysis of variance design. The three-dimensional set generated significantly larger estimates of the angle.
