Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 The closer a line extends toward a surrounding frame, the longer it appears. This is known as a framing effect. Over 70 years ago, Teodor Künnapas demonstrated that the shape of the visual field itself can act as a frame to influence the perceived length

Size constancy in bat biosonar? [PDF]
, 2013 Perception and encoding of object size is an important feature of sensory systems. In the visual system object size is encoded by the visual angle (visual aperture) on the retina, but the aperture depends on the distance of the object. As object distance

A Riemannian Geometry Theory of Three-Dimensional Binocular Visual Perception
Vision, 2018 We present a Riemannian geometry theory to examine the systematically warped geometry of perceived visual space attributable to the size⁻distance relationship of retinal images associated with the optics of the human eye.

The Influence of Auditory Information on Visual Size Adaptation
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 Size perception can be influenced by several visual cues, such as spatial (e.g., depth or vergence) and temporal contextual cues (e.g., adaptation to steady visual stimulation).

Welcome to Wonderland : the influence of the size and shape of a virtual hand on the perceived size and shape of virtual objects [PDF]
, 2013 The notion of body-based scaling suggests that our body and its action capabilities are used to scale the spatial layout of the environment. Here we present four studies supporting this perspective by showing that the hand acts as a metric which ...

How haptic size sensations improve distance perception. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2011 Determining distances to objects is one of the most ubiquitous perceptual tasks in everyday life. Nevertheless, it is challenging because the information from a single image confounds object size and distance. Though our brains frequently judge distances

Independence of Size and Distance in Binocular Vision
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 For too long, the size distance invariance hypothesis (SDIH) has been the prevalent explanation for size perception. Despite inconclusive evidence, the SDIH has endured, primarily due to lack of suitable information sources for size perception.

Size perception by vision and kinesthesia [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1998 When two sizes, one perceived by vision and the other by kinesthesia, are apparently equal, the physical relationship between them varies: The sizes may be equal, or the visual size may be larger than the kinesthetic size, or vice versa. In this study, the method of cross-modal matching and the method of magnitude production were used to explore the ...

The visual perception of size and distance [PDF]
Vision Research, 1963 Abstract The perception of absolute distance has been assumed to be important in the perception of the size of objects and the depth between them. A different hypothesis is proposed. It is asserted that perceived relative size and distance are the primary psychological phenomena with perceived absolute distance derived from the perceptual summing of ...

Size perception is less context-sensitive in males [PDF]
, 2004 Context sensitivity of size perception has previously been used to study individual differences related to the distinction between local, analytic, or field-independent and global, holistic, or field-dependent perceptual styles.
