Subjects inspected either inverted-T or L figures for 5 min. and then shortened the extended vertical lines of inverted-T figures in an attempt to make the vertical line equal in length to the horizontal line. Those who inspected inverted-T figures were more accurate on initial trials than controls (who did not inspect figures), those who inspected L figures, or those who inspected inverted-T figures and made adjustments on the inspected figures. The results indicate that visual inspection alone can produce a decrease in the Horizontal-Vertical illusion and may account, in part, for changes in strategic factors which have been hypothesized to underlie illusion decrement.
受试者检查倒置的T形或L形图形5分钟,然后缩短倒置T形图形的延长垂直线,试图使垂直线与水平线长度相等。检查倒置T形图形的受试者在初始试验中比对照组(未检查图形者)、检查L形图形者或检查倒置T形图形并对检查图形进行调整者更准确。结果表明,仅视觉检查就能减少水平-垂直错觉,并且可能部分解释了被假设为错觉减少基础的策略因素的变化。
