investigated the influence of culture on visual perception amongst Bantu, European and Indian workers and children in South Africa and Ghana. He studied object size, object superimposition and perspective.

Question 2

what do we learn from it?

Answer 2

showed there is a difference between two dimensional and three dimensional in participants from rural traditional societies ( more 3D) were less likely to perceive depth in pictures than participants from comparable urban samples( more 2D). Cultural differences are not limited to the way in which people report about the events, they also extend to the perception of objects. School attending white gave 3D perspective, non-school attending white gave a 2d perspective. Superimposition was the depth cue that resulted in the most 3D interpretations.

Cultural upbringing can affect what you see.
