Discussion
Read each of the following two statements-Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and indicate your answer using the codes given below :
Assertion (A) : In Ponzo illusion and Muller-Lyer illusion, linear perspective is misapplied to the display.
Reason (R) : According to Gregory perception is only a function of stimulus characteristics.
Codes :
Answer: A
The Assertion is true and the Reason is false.
In the Ponzo and Muller-Lyer illusions the lines carry depth cues of linear perspective which are misapplied to a flat display, and so the Assertion is accepted.
Gregory's view is that perception is a constructive process in which the brain forms hypotheses from past experience and the stimulus, not a function of stimulus characteristics alone, so the Reason is false.
