(A) Example trials from each condition (i.e., Same, Distance, Different). (B) Example stimuli from the Distance condition, ranging from Near to Far. An independent set of 25 participants rated the stimuli as either near or far to ensure that our stimuli spanned a wide range of distances. The top row of panel B shows the scene pair that participants rated as the nearest distance change, the middle row as a medium distance change, and the next row as the farthest distance change. The bottom row is an example of an object trial that depicts the object from both proximal and distal perspectives against a background texture that provided depth cues, ensuring that participants perceived the objects as proximal and distal, and not simply as small or big.
