Visual-illusion distance paradoxes: A resolution

Abstract

Several illusory phenomena are susceptible to explanations that invoke size scaling, but only if the distance estimates used to compute size are allowed to contradict the estimates of distance that are consciously experienced at the same time. However, such "paradoxes" make sense within Milner and Goodale's (2006) two-stream theory of vision. © 2012 Psychonomic Society, Inc.
