Size illusions based on distance
Size constancy and size illusions
It must have something to do with the perceived distance affecting perceived size Demonstration of this: the perceived size of a negative afterimage Emmert’s Law: “The ratio of perceived size to perceived distance is a constant for a given visual angle” Perceived size/perceived distance = constant (for a given visual angle)
Emmert’s Law: for a given retinal image size, Perceived Size/distance = a constant (k)
Emmert’s Law: for a given retinal image size, Perceived Size/distance = a constant (k) Re-written: Perceived Size = K(Retinal image size X Perceived distance) What this means: the further away an object seems to be, the larger you will perceive it to be.
Size illusions based on distance Sp = Sr X Dp 15 mm X 30 ft = 450 units tall 15 mm X 20 ft = 300 units tall
Emmert’s Law: Sp = k(Sr X Dp) Perceived size = retinal image size X perceived distance Size Constancy: 10 mm X 30 ft = 300 units tall 15 mm X 20 ft = 300 units tall

Size illusions based on distance Sp = Sr X Dp Muller-Lyer Illusion
Explanations: 1. Gregory’s Misapplied Size Constancy Scaling (based on Emmert’s Law) 2. Day’s Conflicting Cues Theory 3. Erlebacher & Sekuler’s Confusion Theory
