Jastrow Illusion Which
of these dildos is longer? The blue one appears to be longer, but they are
exactly the same size .
How it works: The Jastrow illusion is named after
psychologist Joseph Jastrow, who demonstrated it in 1889 using two identical
curved shapes. The placement of the dildos is such that when you look at
them you are comparing the inside, shorter curve of the red dildo to the
longer outer curve of the blue dildo. In addition, you don’t really notice
that the blue dildo is placed further to the right because of the way the
dildo bases are lined up on the left. |
