TL;DR: In this article, the effects of direction of bracket, height of bracket and attachment or interspace on the apparent length of a line with bracket attachments were studied, and it was found that outward brackets produced longer lines than inward brackets, interspacing produced longer line, and increasing height of the brackets produced convergence of inward and outward functions.
Abstract: This experiment studied the effects of direction of bracket, height of bracket, and attachment or interspace on the apparent length of a line with bracket attachments. Results showed that outward brackets produced longer lines than inward brackets, interspacing produced longer lines, and increasing height of the brackets produced convergence of inward and outward functions. These results were considered partial support for the application of Day’s general constancy explanation to the brackets illusion.
