TI  - The relationship between texture gradient and perceived slant-in-depth: direct or 
      mediated?
PG  - 695-702
AB  - Judgments were obtained of the surface texture and rotation in depth of a 
      briefly-exposed monocularly-viewed rectangular grid rotated in depth and a set of 
      projective equivalents of the grid presented in the frontal parallel plane. The 
      judgements were secured when the grids were presented alone and when they were 
      followed by a masking textured surface after interstimulus intervals (ISIs) 
      ranging from 0 to 120 ms. In the absence of the mask judged texture varied 
      corresponding to the variations of optical texture both for the rotated 
      rectangular grids and the frontalparallel projections. Judgements of orientation 
      in the absence of the mask varied corresponding to the variations in objective 
      orientation for the rectangular grid and corresponding to the projective 
      equivalent rotations for the frontalparallel projections. Introduction of the 
      mask at ISI = O led to disruption of discriminative gradient and orientation 
      judgments. The degree of disruption decreased as ISI increased. These findings 
      were interpreted as supporting a mediational hypothesis of the relationship 
      between optical texture and perceived slant-in-depth. In contrast to the direct 
      perception hypothesis advanced by Gibson, the mediational hypothesis assigns and 
      important role to the perceptual representation to the optical gradient. When the 
      formation of this representation is arrested by processing of the mask, the 
      relationship between optical texture and perceived slant-in-depth is disrupted.
