THE PERCEPTION OF ILLUSIONS AS A CONSTANCY PHENOMENON

L. B. Brown, L. Houssiadas

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

The view, recently revived, that the non‐veridical perception of visual illusions results from size constancy processes set up by the depth features of flat figures has been tested with a series of eight stimuli. Data collected from experiments with 44 subjects suggest that this view applies only to a limited range of visual illusions and that, therefore, it has not the generality claimed by its proponents.
