Ebbinghaus Illusion Distortions in Amblyopia: Impairments of Visual Size Processing and Interocular Integration
Amblyopes tended to overestimate the object size relative to controls in the Ebbinghaus illusion, thereby amplifying it in the small-inducer geometry and diminishing it in the large-inducer geometry. Our factor analysis revealed a limited interocular transfer of the Ebbinghaus illusion in amblyopia, suggesting a defective mechanism in local binocular integration circuitry.
