Performance in the Mueller-Lyer Illusion was analyzed for whole and partial presentations of the figure. S s were 120 third grade boys and girls. Four experimental groups were formed with the use of the human abilities model of simultaneous and successive syntheses, and the two types of presentation were given to each group. Results indicated that illusory effects in both presentations of the figure were significantly reduced by ability in simultaneous synthesis. Performance in the two presentations was also affected by successive ability, but these effects were in opposite directions for the two forms of presentation. The results did not support Piaget's theory of perceptual development, although they were consistent with the theory of simultaneous and successive syntheses. Suggestions are made for the design of future research.
针对该图形的整体和部分呈现方式，对穆勒-莱尔错觉实验的表现进行了分析。受试者为120名三年级男生和女生。利用同时性和继时性综合的人类能力模型组建了四个实验组，并给每个组呈现两种类型的图形。结果表明，同时性综合能力显著降低了图形两种呈现方式中的错觉效应。两种呈现方式下的表现也受到继时性能力的影响，但对于两种呈现形式，这些影响方向相反。研究结果虽与同时性和继时性综合理论一致，但并不支持皮亚杰的感知发展理论。文中还对未来研究的设计提出了建议。
