Judging distance from ocular convergence
Subjects misjudge distances considerably when forced to rely on extra-retinal information. Nevertheless, they can reproducibly set a target to the same distance as a reference, or to double or half that distance, even when they have to look back and forth between them because they are prevented from seeing one when looking at the other. Our explanation for this apparent discrepancy is that peop...
متن کاملJudging distance across texture discontinuities.
Sinai et al (1998 Nature 395 497-500) showed that less distance is perceived along a ground surface that spans two differently textured regions than along a surface that is uniformly textured. We examined the effect of texture continuity on judged distance using computer-generated displays of simulated surfaces in five experiments. Discontinuities were produced by using different textures, the ...
متن کاملJudging an unfamiliar object's distance from its retinal image size.
How do we know how far an object is? If an object's size is known, its retinal image size can be used to judge its distance. To some extent, the retinal image size of an unfamiliar object can also be used to judge its distance, because some object sizes are more likely than others. To examine whether assumptions about object size are used to judge distance, we had subjects indicate the distance...
متن کاملOcular Convergence Deficits in Schizophrenia
Individuals with schizophrenia (SZ) have been reported to exhibit a higher prevalence of convergence insufficiency (CI) than the "normal" adult population. The purpose of this study was to determine if individuals with SZ exhibit clinical signs of CI and to determine if the Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS) is an effective instrument for identifying CI in this population. Twenty p...

Complex visual perceptions of his physical build, posture, clothes, and movements, in addition to auditory perceptions derived from his speech and voice, make this impression seem accurate and complete. Over the radio the rich and informative visual pattern is absent; only the voice and...
