Le jeu des illusions : discrimination entre apparence et réalité chez les primates by Marie Hirel

“…An array of studies highlighted that nonhuman primates and humans share a sensitivity to illusions, but which differs between species depending on patterns and proprieties of visual elements, thus bringing out interspecific differences in perceptual organization of visual stimuli. In addition to being sensitive to, being able to understand when a misperception can lead us to misconstrue our environment, and thus to behave in inappropriate ways, confers an obvious evolutionary advantage. …”
