1895:"From Chris Murphy 01634 686 515 Its a classic optical illusion, but a new university study found age matters when it comes to perception. People who are younger instantly see the young woman. Old fogies see the old lady. That is according to researchers at Flinders University in Australia. The illusion is called "My Wife and My Mother-in-Law", or even the Boring Figure. Take a look what do you see. OK, so if the research team is right, young people will probably see a young woman looking away. Older folk will spot the profile of a miserable looking granny. And it seems 30 is generally the cut-off point, said the university which added in its findings that "own-age biases affect subconscious face perception". For those confused, take a closer look. The young woman's chin doubles as the older woman's nose, and the old woman's chin is also the young woman's chest. The Australian study was conducted by two psychology professors and they concluded that it has to do with the age of the viewer. According to the study a younger person will see the younger woman first, while older people will see the older woman first. They surveyed 393 participants made up of 242 males and 141 females. The ages ranged from between 18 and 68 with an average of 32. They were then shown the image for half a second, and were asked the gender and age of the person that they saw. The pair of boffins were amazed at the answers. While most participants first saw the younger woman, this could be due to the fact that many of the participants were on the younger side. When the researchers separated the oldest 10 per cent and the youngest 10 per cent of those surveyed, they found that the older set saw the older woman first, and the younger set the young woman. The point of the study was to determine if "own-age biases affect the initial interpretation of an image at a subconscious level." Ends
