• SIZE CONSTANCY - the stability of perceived size despite changes in objective distance and retinal image size.
• CONSTANCY SCALING -
• Our mind adjusts retinal size to correct for registered viewing distance
= Size Distance Scaling

• SIZE CONSTANCY - the stability of perceived size despite changes in objective distance and retinal image size.
• CONSTANCY SCALING -
• MOON ILLUSION - moon appears larger near the horizon than when high in the sky
• Depth cues (on land) give impression that moon is at a "far" distance.--
Thus, we ‘expect’ a far object (moon) to appear small on the retina - but when it does not, the mind compensates and we see the object (moon) as large

Violation of assumptions
• We tend to assume:
• 1) overhead lighting• SHADING
• 2) regularity of..• SHAPE

ILLUSIONS THAT VIOLATE
ASSUMPTIONS Overhead lighting• SHADING - we perceive convex shape when top is lit
& concave when lit at bottom

ASSUMPTIONS SHAPE & SIZE CONSTANCY - apparent shape of an
object remains constant despite changes in the shape of the retinal image -
– REGULAR SHAPES
– AMES ROOM

Occlusion & Shape Perception
Does shape of occluder drive shape percept of ‘occludee’?How about orientation of edges w/in occluder shapes?
