Résumé
In the present study, the features of summation of effects caused by contextual distracting dots in the length-matching task (a variant of the filled-space illusion) were investigated. In the first two series of psychophysical experiments, the illusion magnitude was measured as a function of the displacement of distractors (either single or double sets of dots) orthogonally to the main axis of the stimulus. It was demonstrated that with increasing displacement, the illusion smoothly decreases for a single set of distractors, while for two sets, the illusion first increases to a certain maximum value, and then gradually decreases. In the third and fourth series of experiments, magnitude of the illusion was measured as a function of the luminance of one set of distracting dots, while the luminance of the other set was fixed. It has been shown that increasing the luminance until the same value is reached for both sets leads to a monotonous growth in the illusion magnitude; after that, the illusion asymptotically decreases to an almost constant level. The theoretical interpretation of the established functional dependencies was performed using a quantitative model based on the assumption that the illusion may arise due to the weighted summation of the distractor-induced normalized neural activity, which leads to the perceptual mislocalization of terminators of stimulus spatial intervals.
