Abstract: S sits on a tilting chair which can be turned laterally from normal position (0°) to an upside-down position (180°) and makes distance judgments for lengths of 40, 80, and 120 metres on two ground tracks arranged in a V shape, with a standard stimulus on one track and a comparison, presented successively, on the other. Distance judgment is most accurate when S sits in the normal position; errors increase as body posture deviates from normal. A strong tendency is shown in the tilted postures to underestimate distance and this is maximum in the upside-down posture. This experiment suggests that normal body posture acts as a basis for reference in the perception of the outer world.
