Description/Abstract
The
perception
of
absolute
distance
has been
assmned
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
perceived
relative
depths
. In
agreement
with this
point-of-view
,
it
is
stressed
that
relative
,
rather
than
absolute
retinal
extents
, are the
determiners
of
visually
perceived
extents
. A
principle
called
the "
adjacency
principle
"
is
identified
as
perceptually
organizing
the
relative
retinal
stimuh
. This
principle
states
that the
apparent
size
or
position
of any
object
in the
field-of-view
is
determined
by
whatever
size
or
distance
cues
occur
between
it
and
adjacent
objects
.
