Relative
Size Illusion This
illusion called Sarcone’s Crosses contradicts Ebbinghaus
illusion and Obonai square illusion (fig.
2). Sarcone's cross illusion consists of a cross (the
test shape) surrounded by sets of squares of distinct
size (the inducing shapes). As shown in the diagram
opposite (fig. 1), the 2 red crosses are exactly the
same size; however, the one on the left (surrounded
by large squares, fig. 1.a) tends to appear larger.
In Obonai square illusion
it
is exactly the contrary!
