Recent research indicates that extensive training can enhance the ability to perceive visual illusions, particularly among radiologists. The study found that radiologists, who are trained to ignore irrelevant details in medical images, are significantly better at overcoming visual illusions than both psychology and medical students. The findings challenge the long-held belief that individuals have no control over their perception of illusions, suggesting that skill and training play a critical role in how we interpret visual information.
Despite all these individual differences, researchers have always thought that you have no choice over whether you see the illusion. Our recent research challenges this idea.
It seems radiologists' superior perception is a result of their extensive training. This suggests that skill development can enhance our ability to perceive illusions.
