Visual illusions are of particular interest to cognitive researchers because they reflect the active role of the brain in processing the world around us. Yousif and Scholl (2019) recently described a new visual experience, the one-is-more illusion, in which adult humans perceived continuous objects as longer than sets of discrete objects of equal length. In the current study, we investigated this phenomenon in human children ( Homo sapiens ) and rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ). Children were presented with a computerized 2-choice discrimination task and successfully selected the longer of 2 images for control trials. On trials in which 2 versions of the same image were presented (identical in length), and one was of a continuous form and the other consisted of 2 or more distinct units, children showed a bias for the continuous object. Monkeys were given the same computerized task and learned to choose the longer of 2 otherwise identical stimuli. However, monkeys did not show a bias to choose the continuous probe images as longer than the discrete images in the critical test trials with equal-length stimuli. These results are discussed in light of developmental and comparative research on related illusory experiences and perceptual mechanisms.
