Abstract
When a flat stimulus is rotated in the frontoparallel plane about a horizontal axis that is an extension of O's line of regard, the apparent depth of the stimulus is enhanced. The enhancement was entirely a function of peripheral asymmetry. The apparent depth in the static figure, internal structure, or taper in the periphery did not augment the rotation-enhanced depth. The magnitude of the enhancement was constant for any series of stimuli, such as a series of overlapping circles with increasing overlap. The apparent depth also increased as a function of the speed of rotation.Keywords
