A short thread [1/5]👇
From physics to even the social domain, we consistently find this pattern: core knowledge representations also guide visual processing of object, number, geometry, agent, etc, suggesting that these two are the same thing—perceptual mechanisms shared by infants and adults.

Our 'core perception' framework has many implications: it generates a ton of ready-to-test hypotheses, raises questions about conceptual development, and more.
We look forward to seeing your comments!

New paper: the ‘Double Ring Illusion’!
Does the visual system integrate *intuitive physics*? This new illusion developed by @stricklandbrent and I offers a straightforward demonstration – one that you can experience yourselves!

Is this percept actually explained by the proximity of the rings? Have a look at these gapped rings.
If you’re like most people, the unstable percept is restored – because the gaps remove the possibility of solidity violation.

The Double Ring Illusion shows that *physics* is integrated in our visual system!
Our paper pushes this illusion a lot further in various ways: adding other cues to compete with solidity, generalizing to other displays, etc. Check it out in JEP:G! doi.org/10.1037/xge0001839.

Our new paper on the "Pulfrich Solidity Illusion" with @dawei__bai is out at PB&R. Our new variant of the Pulfrich effect demonstrates a surprising degree of tolerance for violations of solidity when pitted against motion and depth cues.
