The present study is concerned with the effects of some stimulus variables on size constancy. In the traditional experiment on size constancy, two disks, the standard and the comparison, are presented at different distances from the subjects. The standard disk having a constant diameter in physical size, or in visual angle, is presented at various distances, while the comparison disk with varying diameter is placed at a constant distance. The physical distance of the standard disk is usually adopted as an experimental variable and the physical size of the comparison disk which is matched with the standard in apparent size is measured. However, the physical distance, itself, is not presented directly to the subject's eyes. The information about the distance is mediated by many cues for depth perception, i.e. convergence, binocular disparity, linear perspective, texture gradient, and so forth. These cues, or proximal stimulusvariables, are more appropriate as experimental variables than the physical distance in the traditional experiment, for the purpose of analyzing the stimulus relations determining the phenomena of size constancy. A stereoscopic apparatus makes us possible to control these stimulus-variables independently of each other. Ogasawara (1935) studied size constancy in a stereoscope, but he only analyzed subjects' verbal reports qualitatively to find effects of convergence and some other variables. Oyama and Teraoka (1955) and Katori and Suzukawa (1963) utilized a new psychophysical method, the method of transposition, developed by Oyama (1955, 1959) to get a quantitative measure of the perceived size-ratio between two objects seen in a stereoscope. The method of transposition is a kind of ratio-matching, but it is quite different from Stevens' (1957, 1962) ratio-estimation and ratio-production methods in such an aspect that the method of transposition does not use any verbal response which may be affected by subject's mathematical experience. In the method of transposition 1 parts of this study were reported by Oyama at
