Abstrakt: This article criticizes the view that visual illusions, conceived as flat projections of typical views of objects lying in three-dimensional space, result from inappropriate constancy scaling. It points out that visual illusions are multiply determined and that the theory in some cases leads to contradictions. It suggests that perspective interpretations of visual illusions have overemphasized the influence of geometrical environments. Finally it criticizes attempts to distinguish between two types of scaling responsible for constancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
