Egocentric Distance Perception: A Comparative Study Investigating Differences Between Real and Virtual Environments

Perception, 2020
Virtual reality systems are a popular tool in behavioral sciences. The participants’ behavior is, however, a response to cognitively processed stimuli. Consequently, researchers must ensure that virtually perceived stimuli resemble those present in the ...

The Perception of Ideological Distance

Western Political Quarterly, 1992
Data from national election studies in Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the U.S. were analyzed to test hypotheses concerning the perception of ideological distance between parties and candidates. The first hypothesis, derived from Sherif's social judgment theory and Heider's balance theory, was of a U-shaped function between self-placement and the

Far Distance Perception

Perception, 1997
Determining how people perceive distance is a central issue in the study of visual perception. Whilst near-distance perception has been extensively researched, far-distance perception has received little attention. We review the literature and illustrate key points with new data, focusing on analysis of available information/cues, degree of accuracy ...

The Perception of Traversed Distance

Environment and Behavior, 1980
Three studies were conducted to explore the effect of path structure on the perception of traversed distance. Based upon anecdotal reports, it was hypothesized that the estimated length of a route would be positively related to the perceived number of turns on that route.

Binocular distance perception: Egocentric distance tasks.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1985
This study extends and tests a theory of binocular distance perception that has been shown to give a good account of performance in relative distance tasks. Here the theory is tested in two experiments in which the observer directly indicates perceived egocentric distance of targets (perceived distance from himself or herself) by means of a verbal ...

Auditory distance perception in rooms

Nature, 1999
The perceived distance of a sound source in a room has been shown to depend on the ratio of the energies of direct and reflected sound. Although this relationship was verified in later studies, the research has never led to a quantitative model. The advent of techniques for the generation of virtual sound sources has made it possible to study distance ...
