Strong tilt illusions always reduce orientation acuity
The apparent spatial orientation of an object can differ from its physical orientation when differently oriented objects surround it. This is the "tilt illusion". Previously [Solomon, J. A., & Morgan, M. J. (2006). Stochastic re-calibration: Contextual effects on perceived tilt. Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological Sciences, 273, 2681-2686], we reported a loss of ori...
متن کاملOrientation illusions in spaceflight.
Investigations of spontaneous illusory reactions were carried out during space-flights of various durations by ANKETA questionnaires (104 cosmonauts). From a total of 104 cosmonauts, 24, in addition, used a dictaphone to record a verbal description of the illusions and their sensations on tape. Analysis of data generated by ANKETA and the tapes thus recorded have shown that during adaptation to...
متن کاملTilt illusions after Oyama ( 1960 ) : A review
This article reviews the study of tilt illusions by focusing on new illusions or new demonstrations reported by Japanese researchers after the review of Oyama (1960). Steady progress was observed in a variety of illusions. In particular, the development of the study of the Café Wall illusion and its related illusions during the past decade was remarkable. The study of the spiral illusion has al...
متن کاملThe tilt-constancy theory of visual illusions.
The authors argue that changes in the perception of vertical and horizontal caused by local visual cues can account for many classical visual illusions. Because the perception of orientation is influenced more by visual cues than gravity-based cues when the observer is tilted (e.g., S. E. Asch & H. A. Witkin, 1948), the authors predicted that the strength of many visual illusions would increase...
متن کاملOrientation anisotropy in vernier acuity
An oblique effect is evident in vernier acuity for abutting lines. In Experiment 1 we show that the oblique effect in vernier acuity exists over a range of contrast levels, and is evident even when the horizontal and oblique lines are equally detectable or discriminable. Since this oblique effect cannot be explained by the lower visibility of oblique vernier lines or of the "dipole" cue, it is ...
