Psychophysical functions for perceived and remembered size

Science. 1978 Apr 21;200(4339):330-2. doi: 10.1126/science.635592.

Abstract

Separate groups of people estimated the sizes of perceived or of remembered objects. In three independent experiments, both sets of data were well fit by power functions, and the exponent was reliably smaller by remembered than for perceived size.
