Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of focalization on the occurence of semantic illusions like the famous Moses illusion. The experiment employed a sentence verification task. The results indicated a strong effect of localization. These results are consistent with the current literature on focalization and question the Erickson and Mattson (1981) claim that the Moses illusion is not dependent on a misdirection of focus.
