Abstract
Schoolboys from the Ivory Coast and from Kenya were tested on a simple task intended to detect the effect of implicit‐shape constancy. The presence of such an effect was confirmed. Comparison of two Ivorean subsamples differing in their responses to a request to build a model of a depicted structure showed that those subjects who built flat (2D) models were less influenced by the implicit‐shape constancy than those subjects who built three‐dimensional structures. This confirms a postulated link between the implicit constancy and perception of pictorial depth.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
