The Poggendorff illusion explained by natural scene geometry.
One of the most intriguing of the many discrepancies between perceived spatial relationships and the physical structure of visual stimuli is the Poggendorff illusion, when an obliquely oriented line that is interrupted no longer appears collinear. Although many different theories have been proposed to explain this effect, there has been no consensus about its cause. Here, we use a database of r...

Most research on the Poggendorff illusion has focused on explaining the effect. Poggendorff illusion, it doesnt naturally predict the reduction in the illusion.dicted the perceived angle in a modified Poggendorff illusion task with an extra thick bar.

متن کاملSize contrast and assimilation explained by the statistics of natural scene geometry.
The term "size contrast and assimilation" refers to a large class of geometrical illusions in which the apparent sizes of identical visual targets in various contexts are different. Here we have examined whether these intriguing discrepancies between physical and perceived size can be explained by a visual process in which percepts are determined by the probability distribution of the possible ...
متن کاملApplying Emmert’s Law to the Poggendorff illusion
The Poggendorff illusion was approached with a novel perspective, that of applying Emmert's Law to the situation. The extensities between the verticals and the transversals happen to be absolutely equal in retinal image size, whereas the registered distance for the verticals must be smaller than that of the transversals due to the fact that the former is assumed to occlude the latter. This comb...
متن کاملSpatial context affects the Poggendorff illusion.
The Poggendorff illusion has often been explained as purely an interaction between the parallels and the transversals. The present study demonstrates that additional spatial context exerts an influence on this illusion. In Experiment 1, we examined the effects of a surrounding tilted frame (complete and degraded versions) on collinearity adjustments in the upright and rotated Poggendorff figure...
