感知不仅与来自环境的光学信息有关，而且与感知者在给定任务上的表现有关。我们提出的证据表明，感知的高度和宽度的美式足球场的球门柱与感知的踢性能。与踢得较少的参与者相比，踢得更成功的参与者认为球场球门柱相距更远，横杆离地面更近。有趣的是，目前的研究结果显示，只有在踢足球之后，而不是在踢足球之前，感知效果才与表现有关。我们还发现，性能错误的类型影响知觉的特定方面。越多的球没有踢到目标的左边或右边，球门柱看起来就越窄。越多的球没有击中目标，球门横梁看起来就越高。这些结果表明，性能是尺寸感知的一个因素。
Perception relates not only to the optical information from the environment but also to the perceiver's performance on a given task. We present evidence that the perceived height and width of an American-football field goal post relates to the perceiver's kicking performance. Participants who made more successful kicks perceived the Field goal posts to be farther apart and perceived the crossbar to be closer to the ground compared with participants who made fewer kicks. Interestingly, the current results show perceptual effects related to performance only after kicking the football but not before kicking. We also found that the types of performance errors influenced specific aspects of perception. The more kicks that were missed left or right of the target, the narrower the field goal posts looked. The more kicks that were missed short of the target, the taller the field goal crossbar looked. These results demonstrate that performance is a factor in size perception.
