Some experiments inspired by the concept of texture gradient were performed with three independent variables: size of elements, distance between elements, and retinal area. The dependent variable was the perceived slant of a surface. All data deviate from those expected on the basis of the gradient concept. An earlier interaction hypothesis has been found to agree rather well with the data. Some theoretical problems concerning cue contra gradient theory are discussed.
