Abstract

The relationship was examined between judgments of relative distance and judgments of relative size made over a surface on which the packing density of the texture elements was progressively increased, from one end of the surface to the other along the S's line of sight. Significant positive correlations were obtained between distance and size judgments made by 32 Ss. This confirmed a weak version of the size-distance invariance hypothesis and supported a prediction contained in Gibson's theory of space perception.
