Stimulus determinants of the magnitude of the mueller-lyer illusion.
S~nzmary.-It has been assumed, on the basis of research carried out more than 50 yr. ago and lacking adequate controls, that the magnitude of the MuellerLyer illusion is inversely related to the angle between the oblique lines and directly related to the length of the oblique lines of the figure ( u p to some maximum length). The present study investigated, under controlled conditions, the rela...
متن کاملHaptic perception of the Mueller-Lyer illusion by the blind.
This study m easured the extent to which the following four groups of Ss e^qperienced the M ueller-Lyer illusion: a group of ten congenital blind, ten Ss blinded in adulthood, ten sighted blindfolded Ss presented the illusion haptically, and ten sighted Ss presented the illusion visually. All of the groups experienced the illusion to a significant extent. The extent of illusion in the sighted h...
متن کاملShape constancy, not size constancy: A (partial) explanation for the Müller-Lyer illusion
The Müller-Lyer illusion is one of the best-known and most frequently examined optical illusions. After pointing out that it is unlikely that any one account would give a full explanation for all the features of this illusion, I argue for two claims. First, I aim to point out that an essential component of the Müller-Lyer illusion has something to do with picture perception (just as Gregory ini...
متن کاملThe Diachronic Cognitive Penetrability of the Visual System: The Mueller-Lyer Illusion
Introduction Modularity is all the rage. Arguably, over the last few years conceptions of the mind as an assembly of dozens, if not hundreds, of specialized modules have eclipsed what had been the dominant analogy in cognitive science, the view of the mind as a sort of general purpose computer. maintain that domain specific, mental dispositions sustain and unconsciously guide much, if not most,...
متن کاملThe role of context in Müller-Lyer illusion: The case of negative Müller-Lyer illusion
The majority of optical illusions are the result of the specific context manipulation of the critical part of the stimuli. There are different examples of how context distorts figures in a way that they might seem different in size, shape, or shade. In the particular case of the Müller-Lyer (ML) illusion, the critical part of the stimulus is the central line (shaft), while the fins represent th...
