ResumoFive-year-old children’s and adults’ sensitivity to shape perspective was tested with relative length judgments of two crossed lines on the surface of a tilted “box.” The stimuli were presented in both slides and three-dimensional viewing conditions. Judgments in the three-dimensional condition corresponded closely to the actual three-dimensional lengths. Responses in the slide-viewing condition were similar for both age groups, and showed about a one-third regression toward picture-plane length judgments. The lack of age effects was considered with respect to theories of the development of sensitivity to shape perspective.
