    In the modified Poggendorff display, visual perception errors were analyzed. Findings reveal errors are influenced by the obtuse angle and transversal orientation, with a meridional effect magnifying errors at oblique angles.

    Area of Science:

    • Visual perception
    • Geometric illusions
    • Spatial cognition

    Background:

    • The Poggendorff illusion demonstrates misperceptions of line collinearity.
    • Understanding factors influencing these illusions is crucial for visual science.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how modifying the Poggendorff display affects collinearity judgments.
    • To quantify the components of visual error in this modified task.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified Poggendorff display was used, replacing one transversal segment with a dot.
    • The angle between the transversal and parallels, and transversal orientation, were systematically varied.
    • Participants judged collinearity by aligning the dot with the transversal.

    Main Results:

    • Judgmental errors were partitioned into additive components.
    • Errors showed a linear relationship with the obtuse angle and a sinusoidal relationship with orientation.
    • A meridional effect was identified, amplifying errors at oblique transversal orientations.

    Conclusions:

    • Visual errors in collinearity judgments are systematically influenced by geometric parameters.
    • The modified Poggendorff display provides a quantifiable method to study spatial misperceptions.
    • Understanding these effects is key to visual processing research.
