Abstract
The ability of 105 Nigerian schoolboys to interpret pictures 3-dimensionally was studied as a function of changing the number of depth cues on moving from monochrome photographs incorporating the effects of shadow, through fully cued line drawings, to line drawings containing only elevation cues. The effects of different amounts of previous formal training in technical drawing on performance in these tasks were also studied. A significant increase in performance as the number of depth cues increased above that contained in the minimum cued line drawings was found. The difference between the effects of fully cued line drawings and the photographs was not significant. Neither the main nor interaction effects relating to levels of formal training in technical drawing were significant.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
