Abstract

IT has recently been asserted¹ that the well known apparent expansion of acute angles is due not to the lateral inhibition proposed by Blakemore et al.², but to an adaptation effect similar to the Gibson tilt after-effect^3,4. The arguments by which Coltheart arrives at this conclusion, however, seem to us to be based on a complete misreading, and hence misrepresentation, of our article, which we should like to correct.
