Abstract
"Employing 14 sets of anisekonic lenses of ascending power in the psychophysical method of limits, the "distortion thresholds" for an apparently mutilated figure and for a normal figure were established for a sample of 12 S's. The results show the threshold for the mutilated figure to be significantly higher than for the normal figure. This indicates that a greater amount of optical change is required to bring about a concomitant perceptual change for the mutilated as compared with the normal figure."
