Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Delbouef illusion refers to the phenomenon where a fixed amount of food appears larger on a smaller plate. This is because the size of the plate affects our perception of the amount of food on it, and we tend to judge the amount of food based on the size of the plate rather than the actual quantity of food. This illusion can lead to overeating or undereating, depending on the size of the plate and our appetite.
