关于眼睛方向的视网膜外信息可以用来判断物体距离的想法由来已久，并且在整个世纪一直是相当大的争论问题。我们在这里表明，性能差的方向判断相比，有几何而不是生理原因，并讨论为什么以前的研究误导我们相信，有关距离的信息甚至比几何预测更差。(C)2000爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The idea that extra-retinal information about the orientation of the eyes could be used to judge an object's distance has a long history, and has been the issue of considerable debate throughout this century. We here show that the poor performance in comparison with judgements of direction has geometrical rather than physiological reasons, and discuss why previous studies have misled us into believing that information about distance is even poorer than the geometry predicts.
