...We used a custom inclinometer (Li & Durgin, 2011a) to measure hand orientation relative to a horizontal baseline, using the central axis of the hand to represent the response (Durgin, Li & Hajnal, 2010)....

...…that perceived gaze angles are exaggerated and that perceived egocentric distances are foreshortened, as we have mentioned above, there is no actual contradiction because action can be calibrated to visual experience (Harris, 1963; Held & Freedman, 1965; Li & Durgin, 2012b; Rieser et al., 1995)....

...Note, in contrast, that if an L-shape configuration (1.5 m x 1.5 m) were placed on the ground 9 m away, and the direct comparison of the frontal and depth legs were requested, participants might tend to switch to a judgment based on estimating the optical slant (Li & Durgin, 2012a)....

...The angular expansion hypothesis has been successfully applied to findings regarding the perception of egocentric extents, vertical extents and slant whereas other theories tend to have a more limited scope (see Li & Durgin, 2012a)....

...One, associated with shape tasks such as the aspect ratio task developed by Loomis et al. (1992), is quite a large anisotropy that seems to be related to the misperception of local optical slant (Li & Durgin, 2010, 2012a; Loomis & Philbeck, 1999; Loomis et al., 2002)....

...…hypothesis The angular expansion hypothesis is based on evidence that two angular variables, optical slant and the gaze declination, are perceptually exaggerated in the range most relevant in action space (Durgin and Li, 2011; Durgin et al., 2010; Li and Durgin, 2009, 2010, 2012a; Li et al., 2011)....

...Why should perception be systematically biased? One possibility is that this is because perceptual representations are constructs derived empirically during successful behaviors (Howe and Purves 2005a; Howe et al. 2006)....

...In research on space perception, action based measures are often used in studying perceived distance and slant (e.g. Bingham and Pagano 1998; Gibson and Cornsweet 1952; Loomis et al. 1992; Norman et al. 2009; Rieser et al. 1990)....

...…IH -PA Author M anuscript N IH -PA Author M anuscript The excellent free-hand matching for slants in reach is somewhat at odds with results from other perceptual measures that suggest systematic biases in near space orientation perception (Durgin, Li and Hajnal 2010; Li and Durgin 2010, 2011)....

...For example, the perception of 2D orientation is subject to systematic perceptual biases whether measured as absolute orientation (Dick and Hochstein 1989; Durgin and Li 2011a) or as an angular deviation from a horizontal reference (Fischer, 1968; Jastrow, 1892; Wundt, 1862)....
