Failure of vergence size constancy challenges our understanding of visual scale

This study challenges the concept of vergence size constancy by showing no evidence of it when confounding cues are controlled, leading to implications for visual scale perception and multisensory integration.

Does Vision Extract Absolute Distance From Vergence?

This study tests vergence as an absolute distance cue, finding observers fail to accurately judge distance from vergence when confounding cues are controlled.

Does Vergence Affect Perceived Size?

This study tests whether vergence affects perceived size and finds no evidence of such an effect, suggesting perceived size is more influenced by cognitive factors.

Do We See Scale?

This paper challenges the idea that the visual system extracts absolute distance information by analyzing the effectiveness of various distance cues and their limitations.
