Discussion
Assertion (A) : Illusions are instances in which perception yields false interpretation of physical reality.
Reason (R) : Theory of misapplied constancy suggests that when looking at illusions, we interpret certain cues as suggesting that some parts are farther than others because of our powerful tendency toward size constancy.
Answer: A
Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion, so the answer is option A.
Illusions are instances in which perception gives a false interpretation of physical reality. The theory of misapplied constancy accounts for some of them, such as the Muller-Lyer illusion, by saying that depth cues make us treat some parts as farther away and so, through size constancy, as larger. The reason is therefore an account of how the false interpretation arises.
