Abstract
Lunar research in psychology is briefly reviewed. A teaching demonstration is described in which students are asked to mentally select an object that covers up the moon when held at arm's length. Possible applications are suggested of this demonstration to the general psychology topics of research methods, statistics, perception, and mental illness. Illustrative normative data for the demonstration are provided.
