Sex discrimination: how do we tell the difference between male and female faces?

abstract：:Although the observer's motion can elicit perception of relative depth, it is less successful in doing so when competing pictorial information is available. However, the evidence for this may be affected by limited extents of motion and by equidistance tendencies. Results obtained when monocular observers judged the o...

abstract：:The relationship between apparent size and apparent distance is given by Emmert's law, which states that a retinal image is proportional in size to the distance of the surface it is projected upon. This principle also applies to retinal afterimages in that they, too, will change in apparent size if distance cues sugge...
