THE VISUAL ILLUSION OF BISECTION BY PERSONS OF DIFFERENT SEX, AGE AND VISUAL-MANUAL ASYMMETRY
The adult were more exact in perception of the vertical-horizontal illusion than children aged 7-13 and adult men were more exact than adult women. Visual-manual hemispheric asymmetry had weak influence on the magnitude of distortion of children. At this time it had strong influence on the magnitude of distortion of adults. The adults right-handed or right leading eye demonstrated lower magnitude of distortion than the left-handers and left leading eye.
Keywords: vertical-horizontal visual illusion, sex, age, hemispheric asymmetries
