A display in which a Kanizsa-like illusory-figure pattern of three notched circles was accompanied by several other notched circles was found to be relatively ineffective, thus confirming an important, but previously untested, suggestion. This ineffectiveness may have been due to a strengthened tendency of the visual system perceptually to 'explain' each edge of each of the three critical notches as belonging to one of the partial circles themselves, thus tending to preclude any other (ie illusory) 'explanation' of those edges.
一种展示中，三个带凹口的圆圈呈现出类似卡尼萨错觉图形的图案，并伴有其他几个带凹口的圆圈，结果发现这种展示效果相对不佳，从而证实了一个重要但此前未经检验的推测。这种无效可能是由于视觉系统在感知上有一种增强的倾向，即将三个关键凹口的每条边缘“解释”为属于部分圆圈本身之一，从而倾向于排除对这些边缘的任何其他（即错觉性的）“解释”。
