title: Illusory contours from pictorially three-dimensional inducing elements.
abstract: Illusory-figure patterns which are composed of pictorial elements representing three-dimensional partial disks are sometimes effective and sometimes not. When they are not effective, it is apparently because they contain information that contradicts the presence of an occluding figure and/or because all of the edges within the pattern are seen as edges of various pictured surfaces of the elements.
