Visual Perception Lab: Size Constancy Abstract This investigation is designed to illustrate the ability of the visual system to compensate for changes in retinal image size with viewing distance‚i.e the mechanism of size constancy. The accuracy of this mechanism will be evaluated under a number of different viewing conditions and thereby investigating the various cues for judging distance. Background ‘Size constancy’ is the perception of an object as having a fixed size‚ regardless of
