Abstract
Continuous subjective bisection of a right angle rotating through 360[degree] in a frontal plane was performed by 10 Ss [subjects] using the Bekesy technique. The largest and most consistent constant errors in bisection, ranging up to 10[degree], occurred in upper-right and upper-left quadrants. Interindividual and interquadrant differences indicate that the constant errors cannot be attributed solely to the effect of the main axes of space. An influence of the distribution of oriented contours in Ss'' normal visible environment is suggested.Keywords
