|
Viewing objects over a stretch of visible terrain can distort perception
|
|
|
Perception is more accurate when we use monocular cues as well as binocular cues
|
|
|
We always maintain size constancy over shape constancy
|
|
|
If two things appear to be the same distance away but have retinal images indicating that they are different sizes then perceived size is determined by the size of the retinal images

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, an adult in the further corner will appear smaller than a child in the nearer corner. Ames and subsequent researchers used this phenomenon to demonstrate the importance of experience in perception. We favor the mistaken perception of a normal room and wrongly see the people as different sizes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Ames room is based on the same concept. When a person moves to the left-hand side of the room, they are actually further away and the ceiling is higher. They appear as a smaller image on your retina and you therefore perceive them as small. The opposite effect occurs on the right-hand side of the room.
Detailed explanation-3: -In addition, the left hand side of the Ames Room is actually farther away from us and has a higher ceiling. The person standing in the left hand side will subtend a smaller retinal image size on our retina, making us to subjectively feel that the person on the left hand side look weirdly and ridiculously small.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Muller-Lyer illusion is a well-known optical illusion in which two lines of the same length appear to be of different lengths. The illusion was first created by a German psychologist named Franz Carl Muller-Lyer in 1889.
