Peer reviewedDiLorenzo, Joseph R.; Rock, Irvin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1982
The underestimation (righting) of frame-of-reference tilt correlates with the perception of the vertical rod as tilted in the opposite direction (the rod-and-frame effect). The rod-and-frame effect can be thought of as the solution to the problem of the rod's tilt given the perceived tilt of the frame. (Author/PN)

Peer reviewedBerlin, Donna F.; Languis, Marlin L. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Right-handed sixth graders were administered the WISC Block Design and verbal and nonverbal versions of the Rod-and-Frame Test (RFT), measuring field dependence/independence. Results seemed to reflect a right hemisphere processing for the nonverbal RFT and a possible sex bias against girls in its traditional verbal administration. (Author/SJL)
