Abstract
A circle was attached to one of three lines which were changing in len gth and direction simultaneously. This configuration of moving lines h ad been found previously to induce the perception of depth. Of 26 obse rvers 20 reported that the moving circle appeared smaller in size than a physically equal stationary circle which was located outside the ch anging, depth-inducing configuration.
