Sensory, Attentional And Perceptual Processes
Why do illusions occur?
Perceptions of human beings are not always veridical. Sometimes he fails to interprete the sensory information correctly. This results in a mismatch between the physical stimuli and its perception. These misperceptions resulting from misinterpretation of information received by our sensory organs are generally termed as illusions. Illusion result from an external stimulus situation and generate the same kind of experience in each individual. Although illusions can be experienced by the stimulation of any of our senses, psychologists have studied them more commonly in the visual than in other senses modalities.
