초록

지금까지 인간의 크기 지각 능력은 크기거리불변가설(size-distance invariance hypothesis; 이하 SDIH)에 의존하여 왔다. 하지만 많은 노력에도 불구하고, SDIH로 크기를 지각한다는 확정적인 증거는 발견되지 않고 있을 뿐 아니라, 심지어는 SDIH와 모순되는 증거마저 보고되고 있다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 양안시각의 기하학적 관계에 입각하여, 양안크기 단서를 도출하였다. 특히 이 단서의 도출에 거리정보를 배제시켰으며, 따라서 SDIH의 기각과 크기지각능력의 정확성은 이 단서의 효율성을 지지하는 증거로 간주될 것으로 예측하였다. 이런 가능성을 검증하기 위해서 실험을 실시하였으며, 실험은 Garner와 Morton (1969)과 Ashby와 Townsend(1986)의 제언에 따라 크기와 거리지각과정을 독립적으로 변화시킨 후, 각 지각과정에서 지각능력을 별도로 평가하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 자극은 교차부등(crossed disparity)으로 모니터에서 가상적으로 제시되었으며, 이 때 참가자들은 가상 물체의 크기와 거리를 각각 보고 하였다. 그 결과 두 지각과정에서 상이한 반응양상을 발견하였을 뿐 아니라, 두 지각의 수행능력을 상관분석, 변산계수분석, 위계적 중다 회귀분석을 시도한 결과 모두 SDIH와 상충된다는 사실을 발견하였다. 이런 결과는 크기와 거리지각과정이 상호의존적이 아니라 독립된 과정일 것이라는 가능성을 시사할 뿐 아니라, 특히 양안크기지각이 크기 단서에 의해서 이루어질 가능성을 함축하는 증거로 간주된다고 결론지었다.

Abstract

For too long, size perception research has been guided by the size distance invariance hypothesis (SDIH). Although research to validate this hypothesis has been largely inconclusive, the hypothesis has endured, perhaps in part because alternative information sources for size perception were lacking. Here, I propose an alternative binocular information source for size perception. An experiment was conducted to assess the utility of the proposed information and at the same time the perceptual independence of size and distance perception. Participants viewed a virtual object stereoscopically then judged its size and distance. Results were consistent with the proposed model’s prediction but inconsistent with the SDIH. The present findings were construed as evidence against the SDIH as an account of size perception for the binocular visual system.
