Abstract
The possibility that frames serve to capture lines within them sc that they appear on a coplanar surface was investigated, using coherence in direction of rotary motion (Gillam, 1972) as a quantitative measure of the coplanarity of frame and internal lines. It was found that perceptual coherence between a pair of lines was greatly increased by surrounding them with a frame, if the frame was perspectivally consistent with the lines. A second experiment showed that this grouping can be attributed to a global effect of the frame and cannot be accounted, for. by local grouping of the internal lines with components of the frame.Keywords
