TACTUAL ILLUSIONS1 CHARLES L. FRY university o f Virginia Summary.-16 college males participated in a study exploring active and passive illusions i n touch. Analogs to 2 primary and 2 secondary visual illusions were constructed for active and for passive tacmal presentation. Tactual illusory effects similar to those one would predict from vision were found i n the active mode of presentation of the Miiller-Lyer, and horizontal-vertical conditions, while opposite effects were found in the active mode of presentation of a modification of Delboeuf circles and in the passive diamond-square and horizontal-vertical conditions (ps .02). Analogous primary and secondary illusory results interacred with the active and passive modes of presentation.
