Effect of perceived size upon perceived brightness

W L Brigner

    Perceptual and Motor Skills
    |December 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Perceived size increases with brightness, a known phenomenon. This study demonstrates the reverse: perceived brightness increases as perceived size decreases.

    Area of Science:

    • Visual perception
    • Psychophysics

    Background:

    • The relationship between perceived size and brightness is well-documented.
    • Previous research indicates that larger objects appear brighter.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the inverse relationship between perceived size and brightness.
    • To demonstrate that decreasing perceived size can lead to increased perceived brightness.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental manipulation of visual stimuli.
    • Participant reports on perceived size and brightness.

    Main Results:

    • A novel inverse relationship was observed.
    • Decreasing perceived size led to a significant increase in perceived brightness.

    Conclusions:

    • The perception of size and brightness are dynamically linked.
    • This finding offers new insights into the complex mechanisms of visual perception.
