Question

Explain perceptual illusions.

Answer 1

The dictionary definition of a perceptual illusion is, "the perception of something objectively existing in such a way as to cause misinterpretation of its actual nature." While this is true, it is not the only definition of an illusion. An illusion is not always a misinterpretation, but rather it convinces us that the real life version of an object is untrue or false. One important factor to remember is that no two different interpretations of an object of picture can be given at one moment.
