Abstract
Conscious awareness of hill slant is overestimated, but visually guided actions directed at hills are relatively accurate. Also, steep hills are consciously estimated to be steeper from the top as opposed to the bottom, possibly because they are dangerous to walk down. In the present study, participants stood at the top of a hill on either a skateboard or a wooden box of the same height. They gave three estimates of the slant of the hill: a verbal report, a visually matched estimate, and a visually guided action. Fear of descending the hill was also assessed. Those participants that were scared (by standing on the skateboard) consciously judged the hill to be steeper relative to participants who were unafraid. However, the visually guided action measure was accurate across conditions. These results suggest that our explicit awareness of slant is influenced by the fear associated with a potentially dangerous action.
“[The phobic] reported that as he drove towards bridges, they appeared to be sloping at a dangerous angle.” (
