A theory is developed with respect to size constancy in two stimuli comparison situation. Two kinds of polar comparisons between the standard and comparison stimuli presented at different distances, are enunciated; one is comparison of occlusion, and the other is comparison of proportionality. The gradient in visual field was experimentally treated as a physically controllable variable for these comparisons. Results are:(a) Perceived size varies as a function of gradient in visual field.(b) Under non-reductive condition, the physical-parallel gradient has larger effect upon perceived size than the retinalparallel gradient. Under reductive condition, the opposite result is obtained.(c) The gradient of visual field has larger effect in monocular observation than in binocular one.(d) Constancy of large square is higher than that of small one
