- … elementary perceptual tasks, with area less accurately decoded than position. Hong, Witt, and Szafir further show a weighted average illusion: larger or darker marks can pull viewers' estimates of the mean \(x\) and \(y\) position toward visually salient points even when size is not meant to weight those means.
