Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Our everyday visual experiences influence expectancies, meaning that the way we see and interpret the world around us differs based on our cultural background and context. This can affect our perception of visual illusions, as our brain may expect certain patterns or shapes based on our cultural experiences. Genetic differences in visual processing may play a role as well, but the question specifically asks about cultural influences. There is no evidence to suggest that formal education or language fluency specifically affects the perception of visual illusions.
