Abstract

Measurements of apparent size were obtained by distance adjustment of a peripherally viewed stimulus to produce a match to a formally viewed standard. As eccentricity increased, the peripheral stimulus was adjusted at distances of progressively greater visual angel, indicating that a continuous diminution in apparent size occurs with increased eccentricity.
