Article Description

The current study aimed to test efficiency of cognitive training programs based on human-computer interaction and their influence on resistance to orientation visual illusions (Poggendorff, Zӧllner) and metric visual illusions (Ebbinghaus, Müller-Lyer, Ponzo). Moreover, we attempted to verify whether Witkin’s field dependence/independence style moderates the influence of cognitive training on visual illusion resistance. 250 participants aged 19-32 took part in the experiment. Three training groups were used: a working memory-training group, an attention-training group, and a perception-training group; a passive control group was also used. The groups were homogeneous in terms of gender, age, and proportion of field-dependent and field-independent individuals. All groups received about three weeks of adaptive cognitive training, consisting of 18 sessions of 30 minutes per day. The results showed that, in general, field-dependent participants appeared to be more susceptible to visual illusions than field-independent ones. In addition, it was demonstrated that working memory (WM) training is effective in reducing field-dependent participants’ susceptibility to the Ponzo illusion. The results are discussed from the perspective of the cognitive deficits hypothesis.
