This experiment was designed to demonstrate that the effect of apparent size on the FAE has not been adequately tested. The subjects were run under binocular and under monocular viewing conditions. Binocular vision gave essentially the same results that had been obtained in previous binocular investigations. Monocular vision gave different results. It was concluded that the effect of apparent size on the FAE has not been demonstrated.
