The complex effects of mass and volume on weight perception (e.g., the size-weight illusion) were hypothesized to follow simply from invariants of rotational dynamics. In Experiments 1-3, the rotational inertia of wielded, occluded objects was varied independently of mass, size, and torque. Perceived heaviness depended only on rotational inertia. Reanalysis of J. C. Stevens and L. L. Rubin's (1970) study revealed that size's influence on weight perception depends on specific patterns of the eigenvalues of the inertia tenser. These patterns were simulated in Experiments 4-6 with objects of fixed mass, volume, and visible size. Perceived heaviness decreased and increased, respectively, over object sets with the eigenvalue patterns of (a) constant mass, increasing volume and (b) increasing mass, constant volume. Weight perception and the size-weight illusion depend on stimulus invariants, not inference.
