Question 9问题9Visual, auditory and memory illusions all remind us that our perception of the world is not as straightforward as we might believe. However, perceptual illusions are not the same as hallucinations. According to John Vokey, how are hallucinations different from perceptual illusions?视觉、听觉、记忆错觉都提醒我们一件事——我们对世界的知觉并不如我们相信的那样简单。然而,感性(感觉)错觉和幻觉并不相同。根据John Vokey的叙述,幻觉跟感觉错觉不同在什么地方呢?
A. Hallucinations can be experienced by many people, whereas illusions are only experienced by the individual.很多人都可能出现幻觉,而只有个体才能经历感性(感觉)错觉。
B. Hallucinations occur even though there is no input source that could lead to the conclusion that there is something there.幻觉是即使实际不存在某种事物(输入源),依旧觉得那儿存在某种事物。
C. They are only different in how they are named: “hallucination” is the term used in medicine and “illusion” is used in psychology.它们只是名字不同——幻觉是医学上的术语,而错觉则用于心理学。
D. Hallucinations are “threshold phenomena” that either is or isn’t, whereas perceptual illusions are more dynamic.幻觉是一种“阈值现象(门槛现象)”,不过不管是不是,感性(感觉)错觉是更动态的。
