- Deregowski
- Mrs Donald Fraser
- Taught health care to Africans, showed them a side profile of a self portrait - couldn't understand where the other eye was etc
- Muldrow and Muldrow - Ethiopian tribe didn't respond to drawings of animals on paper, unfamiliar material - poor ability to make sense od 2D - recognised them on cloth
- Cross cultural study, impossible pronged trident/devil's pitchfork
- Pts asked to copy the image
- Even people who were used to seeing 3D objects struggled to draw it
- Evaluation
- +VE: support the nurture side of the nature/nurture debate (differences between cultural groups)
- -VE: cultural bias and ethnocentricity
- -VE: many of the studies rely on self report
- Mrs Donald Fraser
- Hudson et al
- Picture - elephant, antelope, man with spear
- Spear aligned with antelope AND elephant (so it appears, but JUST antelope) - depth cues, object size etc
- Individuals were asked 'what do you see?', 'what is the man doing?' etc
- At the start of primary school, children had difficult perceiving the picture as 3D
