A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.In the experiment, kids and adults were asked to look at the same visual illusion a picture that was designed to trick the viewer. The researchers who ran the experiment say that adults were more easily fooled by the illusion, and that the kids, especially those younger than age 7, saw the picture more accurately.Martin Doherty, a psychologist at Stirling University in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception (感知) of the participants using pictures of solid orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children of ages 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults of ages 18 to 25. The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and the participants were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79% of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95% of the time.Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Heres where the illusion came in if an orange circle is surrounded by smaller gray circles, then it appears larger than it really is. If an orange circle is surrounded by larger gray circles, then it appears smaller than it really is. When young children of ages 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they werent fooled they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, didnt do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time. “When visual context is misleading, adults literally see the world less accurately than they did as children,” Doherty told Science News. Visual context refers to how a person sees something in relation to the things around it. TitleThe experiment for studying visual context (51) To study visual context in children and adults (52) Martin Doherty from Stirling University in Scotland(53) Pictures of solid orange circlesParticipants 151 children of ages 4 to 10 24 adults of ages 18 to 25(54) Made the participants identify the larger one from the two circles of different sizes (55) along on a white background.Made the participants identify the larger one from a picture having orange circles of different sizes with gray circles (56) .(57) Children identified the correct circle 79% of the time.
