That you don't recall it isn't relevant, the process and stages by which 
such processes arise, how they work, and where they are in the brain, as 
well as how they can be derailed, destroyed, distorted, or disabled, 
temporarily or otherwise, are some of the ***most*** well studied 
aspects of cognitive processing we have. The issues neurology has, at 
this point, isn't, "How do you learn that distant objects look small?", 
its, "How do you decide that its still big enough to shoot at, *and* 
make the decision to do so?" You are talking about stuff that we 
actually use to make cameras and computers smarter, because we *know* 
how they work, and why. And, you don't have the ability from birth. You 
have to teach yourself how to tell that a distant object is the same as 
a close one, even though it *has* changed sizes. At a few weeks old, you 
didn't have the slightest clue, and neither does any other baby.
