The Muller-Lyer illusion falls into the class of distortion illusions, specifically, this illusion distorts perception of size. This site provides a simulated experiment which collects data on the effects of the Muller Lyer Illusion. Ample text explains the illusion and supports the experiment. Personal, printable results are automatically generated for a person who participates in the online experiment. A Java plugin may be required for some systems. This experimental simulation is one component of the Internet Psych Lab (IPL).

I used to teach Sensation and Perception - I would use this experiment if I still did. It is very easy to use if one has Java loaded or is comfortable with the download. The experiment allows the students to see the true effect of the arrows by playing with degree of angle and comparing lines with the arrowheads the same as well as opposite. The content provides the student with a solid understand of the illusion.

While I was browsing webistes in sensation discipline, I found this website with
being intrested in illusion. I spent hours navigating including joining
experiments provided. I think that they have rich and well organized information
with experimental simulations. It would be enhanced student's learning and
faculty's teaching by using appropriately the website.

This website was submitted by a classmate, and i read through and did some of
the activities. It took me 1/2 hour to do the whole thing. It was great! I
liked how it was interactive. The site presented material that was
educationally significant and made the user think about it.
