People in Industrialized Societies Are Far More Susceptible to the Müller-Lyer

Question 619

Multiple Choice

People in industrialized societies are far more susceptible to the Müller-Lyer illusion than are people in some nonindustrialized societies. How has this difference been explained?


A) People in industrialized societies are more susceptible to perceptual illusions because they are accustomed to perceiving three-dimensional objects projected on a two-dimensional surface, such as television and movie screens or computer monitors.
B) Nonindustrialized societies are more practical in their perceptions of the world and do not succumb to illusions.
C) People in industrialized environments have a great deal of perceptual experience judging lines, edges, and corners, and are thus more susceptible to an illusion that mimics a corner.
D) People in industrialized environments have a great deal of experience with illusions such as those seen in magic shows and are thus more likely to "see" the Müller-Lyer illusion.
