ESTIMATION OF TARGET LOCATIONS WITH CONVENTIONAL MEASUREMENT UNITS.

Abstract

Human ability to estimate lateral distances from an identified point was studied in three experiments. Two of these experiments were carried out indoors on table-top visual ranges, and one was conducted outdoors on a landing field. Reference markers were placed on these ranges. Subjects were required to point a simple aiming device at various points which they estimated to be a required distance (specified by the experimenter) laterally away from the reference markers.
