  2. Ponzo illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzo_illusion

    Another explanation is the "framing-effects hypothesis", which says that the difference in the separation or gap of the horizontal lines from the framing converging lines may determine, or at least contribute to the magnitude of the distortion. The Ponzo illusion is one possible explanation of the Moon illusion, as suggested by Ponzo in 1912. [3]

  3. Difference model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_model

    The difference model has roots in the studies of John Gumperz, who examined differences in cross-cultural communication. While the difference model deals with cross-gender communication, the male and female genders are often presented as being two separate cultures, hence the relevance of Gumperz's studies.

  4. Intersectionality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality

    Researchers in psychology have incorporated intersection effects since the 1950s. [102] These intersection effects were based on studying the lenses of biases, heuristics, stereotypes, and judgments. Psychologists have extended research in psychological biases to the areas of cognitive and motivational psychology.

  5. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_(geometry)

    Depending on how the line segment is defined, either of the two end points may or may not be part of the line segment. Two or more line segments may have some of the same relationships as lines, such as being parallel, intersecting, or skew, but unlike lines they may be none of these, if they are coplanar and either do not intersect or are ...

  6. Geometrical-optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical-optical_illusions

    For example, these can be in brightness or color, called intensive properties of targets, e.g. Mach bands. Or they can be in their location, size, orientation or depth, called extensive . When an illusion involves properties that fall within the purview of geometry it is geometrical–optical , a term given to it in the first scientific paper ...

  7. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    Assume that we want to find intersection of two infinite lines in 2-dimensional space, defined as a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 = 0 and a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 = 0. We can represent these two lines in line coordinates as U 1 = (a 1, b 1, c 1) and U 2 = (a 2, b 2, c 2). The intersection P′ of two lines is then simply given by [4]

  8. Hering illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hering_illusion

    Hering illusion. The Hering illusion is one of the geometrical-optical illusions and was discovered by the German physiologist Ewald Hering in 1861. [1] When two straight and parallel lines are presented in front of a radial background (like the spokes of a bicycle), the lines appear as if they were bowed outwards.

  9. Mental model theory of reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_model_theory_of...

    The mental model theory of reasoning was developed by Philip Johnson-Laird and Ruth M.J. Byrne (Johnson-Laird and Byrne, 1991). It has been applied to the main domains of deductive inference including relational inferences such as spatial and temporal deductions; propositional inferences, such as conditional, disjunctive and negation deductions; quantified inferences such as syllogisms; and ...
