BRENTYN-J. RAMM is an academic who published a paper in 2020 entitled Experiments in visual perspective: size experience. BRENTYN-J. RAMM published this work as part of a team: Ramm, Brentyn J.. Here is a description of this work: Phe,,omenal objectivism explains perceptual phenomenal character by reducing it to an awareness of mind-independent objects, properties, and relations. A challenge for this view is that there is a sense in which a distant tree looks smaller than a closer tree even when they are the same objective size (perceptual size variation). The dual content view is a popular objectivist account in which such experiences are explained by my objective spatial relation to the tree, in particular visual angle (perspectival size). I describe a series of first-person experiments for investigating size experience. I use a ruler as a first-person method for operationalising perspectival size (Experiment 1). I use the corridor illusion (Experiment 2), outlining one's head in the mirror (Experiment 3), and outlining the size of objects on glass (Experiment 4) to show a phenomenal difference.
