The Ames distorted room illusion, in which the perceived sizes of objects placed within the room differ from their objective sizes, has been used to support arguments for indirect perception. A study is reported in which Emmert's law of the apparent size of after-images was examined in relation to the Ames room's illusory alteration of apparent and actual distances. Size judgments of afterimages projected into the Ames room were compared with control conditions in which both actual and apparent afterimage projection distances were reproduced. Results indicate that Emmert's law may not provide a simple geometrical relationship between proximal image size and actual viewing distance, and that the processes involved in making afterimage size judgments are similar to those processes involved in making size judgments of 'real world' objects.
