Cultural differences in room size perception. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Cultural differences in spatial perception have been little investigated, which gives rise to the impression that spatial cognitive processes might be universal.

Cortical idiosyncrasies predict the perception of object size [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2016
Perceiving the size of objects is subjective. Here the authors show that these subjective differences in size perception can be explained by the individual variance in spatial tuning of neuronal populations in the primary visual cortex.

Biological motion distorts size perception. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2017
Visual illusions explore the limits of sensory processing and provide an ideal testbed to study perception. Size illusions – stimuli whose size is consistently misperceived – do not only result from sensory cues, but can also be induced by cognitive ...

Distance and Size Perception in Astronauts during Long-Duration Spaceflight [PDF]

Life, 2013
Exposure to microgravity during spaceflight is known to elicit orientation illusions, errors in sensory localization, postural imbalance, changes in vestibulo-spinal and vestibulo-ocular reflexes, and space motion sickness.

Size Perception Biases Are Temporally Stable and Vary Consistently Between Visual Field Meridians. [PDF]

Iperception, 2019
The apparent size of visual stimuli depends on where in the visual field they appear. We recently presented a model of how size perception could be biased by stimulus encoding in retinotopic cortex.

Seeing the body distorts tactile size perception [PDF]

Cognition, 2013
Vision of the body modulates somatosensation, even when entirely non-informative about stimulation. For example, seeing the body increases tactile spatial acuity, but reduces acute pain.

Aging and the visual perception of object size

Scientific Reports, 2022
An experiment evaluated the ability of 30 younger and older adults to visually judge object size under three conditions: (1) full cue, (2) in the dark, with linear perspective, and (3) in complete darkness.

Prehension and Perception of Size in Left Visual Neglect [PDF]

Behavioural Neurology, 2002
Right hemisphere damaged patients with and without left visual neglect, and age-matched controls had objects of various sizes presented within left or right body hemispace. Subjects were asked to estimate the objects’ sizes or to reach out and grasp them,

Size constancy affects the perception and parietal neural representation of object size

NeuroImage, 2021
Humans and animals rely on accurate object size perception to guide behavior. Object size is judged from visual input, but the relationship between an object's retinal size and its real-world size varies with distance.

Haptic size perception is influenced by body and object orientation [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Changes in body orientation from standing have been shown to impact our perception of visual size. This has been attributed to the vestibular system’s involvement in constructing a representation of the space around our body.
