It is argued that M. A. Hagen's (see record 1975-00215-001) review of picture perception contains a number of inaccuracies involving the nature of higher order variables in perception, the demonstration of visual compensation, the manipulation of relative size information, the postulation of an ability to discriminate the correctness of viewing point, and the existence of ambiguity in monocular perception. It is suggested that such errors are the result of a misunderstanding of the formal basis of J. J. Gibson's (1950, 1966) perceptual theory.
