6 sensory isolated Os and 6 yoked control Os estimated stereoscopic size and distance of disparate squares of constant angular size. Data indicate that short-term sensory isolation did not affect stereoscopic size-distance relationships, whereas stereoscopic size and distance varied directly with the magnitude and direction of the disparity carried by the target.
