The authors reviewed research about a profound misconception that is present among college students, namely, the belief that the process of vision includes emanations from the eyes, an idea that is consistent with the extramission theory of perception, which was originally professed by early Greek philosophers and which persisted in scholarly circles for centuries. The authors document the strength and breadth of this phenomenon and the object failure of traditional educational techniques to overcome this belief, and they reveal that students are leaving psychology courses with a flawed understanding of one of the most studied processes in the history of psychology--visual perception. Some suggestions are offered for overcoming this misconception in traditional college classroom settings.
作者回顾了一项关于大学生中存在的一种严重误解的研究，即认为视觉过程包括从眼睛发出的光线，这一观点与感知的外发射理论相一致，该理论最初由古希腊哲学家提出，并在学术圈中持续了几个世纪。作者记录了这一现象的强度和广度，以及传统教育方法在克服这种观念方面的客观失败，他们还揭示出，学生在修完心理学课程后，对心理学历史上研究最多的过程之一——视觉感知，仍存在错误理解。文中还给出了一些在传统大学课堂环境中克服这种误解的建议。
