The larger-circumference ring dwarfs the smaller central disc and causes it to be perceived as smaller. The distance between the circles causes them to be perceived as separate and contrasting. This is attributed to the contrast effect. ![]() The circle on the right however, will often appear smaller when compared to a simple circle of the same size. As the two circles are so close, they are perceived as a pair and the inner circle is overestimated. Girgus and Coren mentioned that this inner disc “tends to be overestimated” when compared to a regular disc without the additional concentric circle. Assimilation is the predominant factor in the disc in the smaller outer ring (the example on the right in the image above). Factors Īccording to Girgus and Coren (1982) the Delboeuf illusion uses both assimilation and contrast as elements in its perception distortion. The illusion was named for the Belgian philosopher, mathematician, experimental psychologist, hypnotist, and psychophysicist Joseph Remi Leopold Delboeuf (1831–1896), who created it in 1865.
