Abstract
Physical abilities may moderate perceptions of task difficulty in predictable ways. This study replicated of the basic action-specific distance estimation procedure of Witt(2011) extended the concept to the size-weight illusion. The illusion means people tend to underestimate the weights of larger objects compared to smaller objects of same weight.
