Abstract
There are 2 explanations for the anomalous apparent size effects observed in a distorted room. The neoempiristic view explains the effects in terms of an interaction of assumptions, apparent distance, and retinal size. The relationalist interpretation refers the effects to the relational properties of the proximal situation. Using college students, the results of the 1st experiment were found to be compatible with both interpretations. The results of a 2nd experiment, however, are consonant only with the neoempiristic viewpoint. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
