The dependence of the cognitive function of the sense of touch of the area sensorium was investigated by means of the thinning illusion produced by rotating the cylindrical rod between the thumb and the forefinger. The genetic phases of this illusion were traced from sensations to perceptions and to meaningful cognition converting the rod's objective convexity into an apparent concavity, running seemingly around the rod. Adult subjects (N = 52) experimentally checked all variables on their optimum degree for producing this illusion, which showed an effective way for using illusions for a thorough investigation of mental synthetic processes.
通过在拇指和食指之间旋转圆柱形杆产生的变细错觉，研究了感觉皮层区域触觉的认知功能依赖性。这种错觉的发生阶段从感觉追溯到知觉，再到有意义的认知，即将杆的客观凸度转化为明显的凹度，仿佛围绕着杆运行。成年受试者（N = 52）通过实验检查了产生这种错觉的所有变量的最佳程度，这表明利用错觉对心理综合过程进行深入研究是一种有效的方法。
