RESEARCH INTEGRITY POLL:. The p-value for the effect on which a paper's claims are founded has been misreported as significant. Should the paper be retracted, or is it better to publish an erratum correcting the analysis and conclusions?.

Here's another set of experiments that it took me 15 years to write up. What's your longest languishing paper that you finally published or still plan to?.

Pleased to FINALLY publish these experiments, with @AntimoBuonocore, @sebastian_j_ss & @MatthewIveson. Especially pleased that it is for a Special Issue in honour of the mighty @action_brain .

The effect was robust to a range of manipulations, and was also shown by visual form agnosic patient DF, suggesting that this influence of pictorial depth does not depend on visual analyses in the ventral stream.

Exaggerated pictorial depth had a small but highly consistent effect on reach distance. The effect was very simply driven by the degree of pictorial convergence around the target. Reach distance increased 0.51 mm per percent of convergence.

So we tested it out. Here I am, fifteen years younger, doing the task (these are some of the first experiments I ran at Edinburgh)

Loads of studies have asked whether illusions of size, like the Ponzo, affect grip scaling. These illusions are often induced by pictorial depth cues like perspective. Yet no one seems to have asked the basic question: do those depth cues cause people to reach further?

Pictorial depth cues affect reaching distance. from the depth of the file drawer. Somehow took 15 years to write these experiments up, even though they are sound studies with some pretty interesting findings.
