Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Müller-Lyer illusion is a visual illusion where one line segment appears longer than another, even though they are the same length. It has been found to occur more frequently in people raised in Western cultures, where the visual environment is more carpentered and contains more straight lines and angles. This suggests that cultural factors play a role in the perception of the illusion. There is no evidence to suggest that the illusion occurs more frequently in children, men, or individuals living in poverty.
