title: Quantification of the Müller-Lyer illusion using signal detection theory.
abstract: An experiment was done to investigate the use of signal-detection theory in quantifying the magnitude of the Müller-Lyer Illusion. The results showed a d' of 2.5 for the illusion. Some implications of this approach are discussed.
