A magnitude estimation study of the inverted-T illusion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inverted-T illusion was studied by the magnitude estimation method. The horizontal line in the inverted T is perceptually shorter than the same horizontal line presented singly, and the vertical line in the inverted T is perceptually longer than the same vertical line presented singly. Thus, the inverted·T illusion is due to both a perceptual lengthening of the vertical line and a shortening of the horizontal line. In the light of these findings, current theories of the illusion seem to give unsatisfactory explanations.

In this study, new empirical relationships to estimate key parameters in Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system including magnitude, epicentral distance and Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) are introduced based on features of the initial portion of P-wave’s amplitude envelope curve. For this purpose, 226 time series recorded by bore-hole accelerometers of Japanese KiK-net are processed for earthq...

The phenomenon of fiscal illusion has always been an intriguing topic in the public finance literature. Fiscal illusion is a concept in which misinterpretation of fiscal parameters and tax expenses and liabilities lead to bias in budgetary decision making at all levels of the government. The current research presents an empirical analysis of the fiscal illusion in the Iranian economy, using fiv...
متن کاملAbsence of the horizontal-vertical illusion in haptic space.
An earlier experiment showed that the so-called horizontal-vertical (HV) illusion with an L is a function of the retinal meridians with which the two lines correspond. This finding indicated that the illusion is specifically visual and, therefore, unlike other geometrical illusions, would not be expected to occur haptically. The experiment showed that, as found in earlier studies, a large hapti...
متن کاملChapter 17 Configural Processing Hypothesis and Face - Inversion Effect
Perception and recognition of faces presented upright are better than Perception and recognition of faces presented inverted. The difference between upright and inverted orientations is greater in face recognition than in non-face object recognition. This Face-Inversion Effect is explained by the “Configural Processing” hypothesis that inversion disrupts configural information processing and le...
