assume that the chamber is viewed through 6 x binoculars at a distance of 50 meters,
Unfortunately, there exists no way of plotting the perceptual frame on a flat surface
without distorting some distances. However, we may plot on a Euclidean polar co-
ordinate frame and perserve sensory radial distances. Other sensory distances will
be distorted on the map but can be computed from (14). The procedure is the same
as that in constructing a map of the earth in which air distances and direction from a
certain airport are plotted correctly, but other distances and directions are distorted,
Using this kind of map we plot in Fig. 10 the sensory polar coordinates of the stimulus
in Fig. 9 when viewed as described through binoculars for which ß = 2b. This is
compared with the result obtained by applying the correction (9), and with the result
obtained by direct view from the distance d of (8). In Fig. 11 we make the same
comparisons using correction and distance according to (9a). The function f
employed is an interpolation of the empirical data for the observer G. R. of [5].
