Although changing-size stimulation and changing-disparity stimulation can both produce a sensation of motion in depth in humans, they act largely independently. The motion-in-depth sensation produced by changing-size can be cancelled by antagonistic changing-disparity stimulation. A motion-in-depth after-effect built up by inspecting a changing-size stimulus can be nulled either by changing-size stimulation or by changing-disparity stimulation. The relative effectiveness of changing-disparity and changing-size as stimuli for motion-in-depth sensation varies as follows: changing-disparity grows relatively more effective as velocity increases (according to a power law); changing-disparity grows relatively more effective as inspection time increases; changing-disparity grows relatively more effective as the linear horizontal width of the target decreases; the relative effectiveness of changing-disparity and changing-size shows marked intersubject variability (at least 80:1). Relative effectiveness does not depend on viewing distance except at very short ranges. The existence of channels for changing-disparity (.ovrhdot..theta.D) and changing-size (.ovrhdot..theta.S) provide the visual system with a possible means of computing the absolute linear width of a stimulus independently of its distance, since linear width equals interpupillary separation multiplied by .ovrhdot..theta.S/.ovrhdot..theta.D.
