Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the nature of size perception under reduced cues for distance. A modified method of constant stimuli was used, and Os were required to compare the size of a comparison stimulus presented with distance cues with the size of a standard stimulus presented devoid of distance cues. Under these conditions Os were able to correctly judge the relative image sizes of the two objects.Keywords
