The apparent distance hypothesis can have a variety of implications and both the illusions don't possess an identical relationship with the apparent distance theory. Similarly to the Muller Lyer illusion, the Ames Room is dependant on the fact that due to its design, both corners cast exactly the same retinal image (this fits with the apparent distance theory). Because we don't have the depth cues to discern the actual distance of the corners, we perceive the room as being rectangular (this can be explained in terms of the apparent distance theory, in that both corners cast the same retinal image). Does that make sense?

I liked this question so i thought id post it:
 
Most of the photoreceptors that are responsible for colour vision respond best to:
A.   Electro-magnetic radiatoion of approimately 360 nanometers wavelength
B.   Electro-magnetic radiatoion of approimately 500 nanometers wavelength
C.   Electro-magnetic radiatoion of approimately 560 nanometers wavelength
D.   Electro-magnetic radiatoion of approimately 720 nanometers wavelength

thanks nick, but i have an idea of that, i just dont get how the theory is applied to the ames room. As the shorter line is proposed to be an outer corner of a room (arrow head line) how does it apply to Ames?

The reason i dont get it is because there are no outward corners (if viewing the Ames room through a monocular peephole) and all the corners of the room would therefore be the feathertail line?

i think that you might be getting confused between the apparent distance theory and the carpented world theory
the carpented world theory only applies to the muller lyer illusion, in which the feather tail and arrow head ends are viewed as corners of a room (outer corner - further away, against a corner which is perceived as closer to the viewer)

Odd question.

I'd say the most accurate would be C.

It's a pretty obscure question, you wouldn't be required to know the visible spectrum of light in that much detail.

Well they are all colours and cones respond to all colours lol so i would have no idea? I would say A (if it was on the exam)

correct!  :smitten:
The exam review sais 'both medium-wavelength cones and long wavelength cones respond to wavelengths of around 560Nm. -so the majority of cones respond best to these wavelengths.'

moshi it's from a 'trial for teachers' exam that my teacher gave me. unfortunatly i dont have a scanner and have written all over it otherwise i would have put it up....

Could I have a copy anyway? LOL

When you get around to scanning it of course..whenever is good.

edit: I skipped over the bit where you said you don't have a scanner haha

560 nm green, the middle colour of the rainbow

it makes sense :P

True, but cones are known to respond best to the middle-->long wavelengths of light.

yeah sorry about that. That was probably the hardest/most obscure question in the exam (obviously i got it totally wrong lol). The only other multi i got wrong was relativly simple but i will post that anyway (it's filled on my pc under -stupid mistakes)

James is taking his first driving lesson in a manual car, which of the following is NOT likely to be true
A.   James finds it difficult to judge the passage of time
B.   James finds it difficult to hold a sensible conversation with the instructor
C.   At the end of the lesson, James finds it difficult to remember features of the of the    buildings they have passed
D.   At the end of the lesson, James can recall all the features of the route they have taken

enjoy!
