Perceptual illusions like the Ponzo illusion or the Müller-Lyer illusion are valuable to psychologists because they reveal how our brains interpret visual information. By studying how these illusions trick our perception, psychologists can gain insights into cognitive processes such as depth perception, size constancy, and contextual effects on perception. Understanding these illusions helps researchers explore the mechanisms behind visual perception and cognition.
Its not so much "illusions" that psychologists like, but things that cause us to change our perceptions. This can be something as random as an ink blot or as concrete as a painting by M.C Escher. By asking thousands of people to explain what they see (or to be more precise, perceive) in these various illusions, psychologists have built up a sort of catalog of interpretations that allow them to get a better idea of how your mind works, what your dispositions are, what the state of your sub-conscious mind is, and a wide variety of other things that will help them to treat you that you may have been unwilling or unable to explain to them.
Social psychologists seek to understand social behavior, including how we interact with others and how other people influence our own behavior. Social psychology is a fascinating field that looks at a wide variety of social behaviors including topics such as the bystander effect, attitudes, and person perception
Your mind is experiencing a perceptual illusion, where it misinterprets sensory information from the environment. This can happen due to factors like expectations, prior experiences, or neurological processes that influence perception. Perceptual illusions highlight the complex nature of how our brain processes and interprets sensory input.
This is frequently referred to as the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, although Jungian psychologists tend to refer to it as synchronicity. This has also been called perceptual vigilance.
