Abstract:
While the cognitive predictors of visual illusions have been widely researched, thus far, the temperamental ones have not been studied. The dataset provides data on cognitive and temperamental determinants of the Müller-Lyer illusion recorded in a group of 170 participants aged 20-33. The cognitive predictors included: the field dependent-independent cognitive style and the efficacy of attention networks: alerting, orienting, and executive control. The dataset is related to the research findings in the paper 'Cognitive and temperamental determinants of susceptibility to the Müller-Lyer illusion' published in Personality and Individual Differences.
