I I t is possible, in theory, for the simultaneous occurrence of several different relative cues i of distances to increase the veridicality of the perception of absolute distance. To test whether I this actually occurs, a three-dimensional display was viewed monocularly while moving the head laterally, under conditions in which some error in perceived absolute distance was expected. The percei...

Theories of embodied perception hold that the visual system is calibrated by both the body schema and the action system, allowing for adaptive action-perception responses. One example of embodied perception involves the effects of tool use on distance perception, in which wielding a tool with the intention to act upon a target appears to bring that object closer. This tool-based spatial compres...

It is commonly assumed that perceived distance in full-cue, ecologically valid environments is redundantly specified and approximately veridical. However, recent research has called this assumption into question by demonstrating that distance perception varies in different types of environments even under full-cue viewing conditions. We report five experiments that demonstrate an effect of envi...

Using vision, humans can accurately judge distances to locations on the ground surface up to distances of at least 20 m. Most theories of depth perception assume that this ability is associated with the fact that we live in a terrestrial world in which locations of interest often appear on the ground and for which feedback about distance is often available from nonvisual sources such as walking...

This study investigated the coupling of distance and size perception as well as the coupling of distance and shape perception. Each was tested in 2 ways using a targeted reaching task that simultaneously yielded measures of distance, size, and shape perception. First, feed-forward reaches were tested without feedback. Errors in size did not covary with errors in distance, but errors in shape di...

background many organisations have realised the importance of human resource for their competitive advantage. empowering employees is therefore essential for organisational effectiveness. this study aimed to investigate the relationship between employee participation with outcome variables such as organisational commitment, job satisfaction, perception of justice in an organisation and readines...

Research on distance perception has focused on environmental sources of information, which have been well documented; in contrast, size perception research has focused on familiarity or has relied on distance information. An analysis of these two parallel bodies of work reveals their lack of equivalence. Furthermore, definitions of familiarity need environmental grounding, specifically concerni...
