When the proximal and distal elements of wire-frame cubes are conflated, observers perceive illusory structures that no longer behave veridically. These phenomena suggest that what we normally see depends on visual associations generated by experience. The necessity of such learning may explain why the mammalian visual system is subject to a prolonged period of plasticity in early life, when novel circuits are made in enormous numbers.
当线框立方体的近端和远端元素合并时，观察者会感知到不再如实呈现的虚幻结构。这些现象表明，我们通常所看到的取决于经验产生的视觉关联。这种学习的必要性或许可以解释为什么哺乳动物的视觉系统在生命早期会经历一段较长的可塑性时期，此时会大量形成新的神经回路。
