One static and two speed stereo-acuity thresholds were obtained from 8 males and 8 females in both knowledge of results and no-knowledge conditions. There were progressively larger average displacement errors for both males and females as speed of rotation increased. At all speeds, males showed fewer discrimination errors in the knowledge than in no-knowledge conditions. Females showed no consistent differences between these two conditions.
