The familiar-size cue to perceived depth was investigated in five experiments. The stimuli were stationary familiar objects viewed monocularly under otherwise completely darkened visual conditions. Perceived depth was measured directly with the method of verbal report and indirectly with the head-motion procedure. Although the familiar-size cue influenced verbal reports of the distances of the objects, it did not determine perceived depth as assessed with the head-motion procedure. These findings support the claim that familiar size is not a major determinant of perceived depth, and that cognitive or nonperceptual factors mediate the effects of familiar size on direct reports of depth and distance. Possible reasons for the failure of familiar size to influence the head-motion-derived measures of perceived depth are discussed with particular emphasis on the role of motion parallax in determining perceptions of depth and relative distance.
在五个实验中对用于感知深度的熟悉大小线索进行了研究。刺激物是在完全黑暗的视觉条件下单眼观察的静止熟悉物体。通过言语报告法直接测量感知深度，并通过头部运动程序间接测量。尽管熟悉大小线索影响了对物体距离的言语报告，但它并未决定通过头部运动程序评估的感知深度。这些发现支持了这样的观点，即熟悉大小不是感知深度的主要决定因素，并且认知或非感知因素介导了熟悉大小对深度和距离直接报告的影响。讨论了熟悉大小未能影响基于头部运动的感知深度测量结果的可能原因，特别强调了运动视差在确定深度和相对距离感知中的作用。
