In order to assess the mode and sequence of interaction of visual-geometric illusion mechanisms, responses to simple and composite overestimation configurations were measured in 72 observers. Analysis suggests that some illusion mechanisms add their distortions to the outputs of others and that other mechanisms average. A logarithmic or near-logarithmic transformation seems to occur when illusory effects combine. A path analysis of the results suggests that some illusory mechanisms combine in a serial manner and that others operate on separate parallel channels. Notions based on simple addition of illusory effects and on serial linear processing are not supported by these analyses.
为了评估视觉几何错觉机制的相互作用模式和顺序，我们对72名观察者针对简单和复合高估构型的反应进行了测量。分析表明，一些错觉机制会将其扭曲添加到其他机制的输出中，而其他机制则进行平均。当错觉效应结合时，似乎会发生对数或近似对数变换。对结果的路径分析表明，一些错觉机制以串行方式结合，而其他机制则在独立的并行通道上运行。这些分析不支持基于错觉效应简单相加和串行线性处理的观点。
