Download or read book Effect of Observer Elevation on the Moon Illusion written by James Edward Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was made to determine if an increase in elevation of an observer above terrain causes a change in the magnitude of the moon illusion and estimation of distance upon terrain. A comparison was made to determine a relationship between the magnitude of the illusion at different observer elevations and the corresponding estimation of distance. It was found that a general decrease in the magnitude of the moon illusion coincides with a general increase in estimated distance when an observer ascends from a point above a terrain. Evidence is lacking to support the apparent-distance theory when an observer ascends above terrain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume attempts to answer one of mankind's oldest puzzles -- why the moon appears to be larger and closer on the horizon than when it is high in the sky. Over the centuries, many viable solutions have been proposed for this psychological phenomenon. The Moon Illusion presents papers by major theorists striving to explain the illusion and providing commentaries on the works of others. Research on the moon illusion has been scattered throughout journals in many disciplines including philosophy, physiology, physics, and psychology. As the first publication to present a comprehensive treatment of the problem, this book is of vital interest to professionals whose major concern is visual perception, experimental psychology, or the neurosciences. Of additional interest to those whose focus is physics or astronomy.
