The Psychology of Visual Illusions

• Broschiertes Buch

In this title, first published in 1978, the authors survey the historical and contemporary research relating to two-dimensional visual-geometric illusions. They summarise and evaluate theories offered to explain these phenomena. Then provide a new conceptual framework suggesting that visual illusions are not unitary phenomena.
