Abstract
Coren (1972) found that a target placed on an illusory contour figure appears smaller than an identical target alongside the illusory figure. To assess whether this size illusion can be described in terms of the principle of size contrast, 53 subjects made relative size judgments of a target circle in an illusory square figure and in various control patterns. The results indicated that the size illusion found in illusory figures cannot be explained solely by reference to mechanisms subserving size contrast.
