The effect of familiar size as a distance cue was tested with familiar objects at familiar distances. Experiment 1 showed that there were no uncontrolled distance cues available and that in their absence the retinal image did not affect depth or size perception. Under these conditions, size and distance judgments were essentially indeterminate and independent of each other. In experiment 2 a paradigm was employed which allowed a direct determination of whether equivalent changes either in size of a familiar object or in its true distance produced equivalent changes in its perceived distance. The results showed that there were no uncontrolled distance cues, and that subjects perceived the familiar object as having its familiar size. Moreover, changing the retinal image of the objects had almost exactly the same effect on their perceived distance as did changing their true distance. Hence, familiar size does effectively govern the perception of distance when there are no competing cues.

In an attempt to determine whether emotionally disturbed children experience more distant psychological relationships than normal children a modified version of Kuethe's social schemata technique was administered to 20 children referred to a treatment center and to 26 control group youngsters. The figures to be replaced on a field consisted of eight social stimuli and four non-social designs presented in 12 different combinations of pairs. No significant systematic directional differences in replacement distances for emotionally disturbed as compared with normal children were found. There were, however, significant age and stimulus effects. Moreover, the patient group exhibited less over-all accuracy in distance judgments than the non-disturbed children.
