Question
Why do illusions occur?
✓
Answer
Illusions occur because of a result of a mismatch between the physical stimuli and its perception by the individual.
The mismatch is caused by incorrect interpretation of information received by sense organs.
Illusions are called primitive organizations as they are generated by an external stimulus situation that generates the same kind of experience in all the individuals.
Some illusions are universal in nature as they are found in all individuals.
These are also called permanent illusions because they do not change with experience and practice.
Illusions that vary from individual to individual are called personal illusions.
