Abstract
Contrary to what happens as regards most of our body, visual perception of one’s head is possible only through the use of means such as mirrors, pictures, or videos.... In this paper a series of experiments investigating people’s naive perception of their head size is presented. Different conditions manipulating the absence or presence of direct visual information were studied. The results show that the perceived size of one’s head (in the absence of any direct visual information) is not dependent on the image we see when looking in a mirror. In the last part of the paper, the investigation is extended to a sample of self-portaitsFile in questo prodotto:
