Conventional psychology has normal implicit that psychological processes are widespread

and plays a vital role in psychology to investigate these universal aspects of human beings.
A few decades several cross-cultural studies have been observed that the reevaluation of
this theoretical postulation and advocated a different view of human psychology in which
ethnicity and human psychological processes are considered to equally have an impact on
one another. This research reevaluates the so-called universal systems of visual observation
and discusses the prospect of cultural influence on insight as evidenced by cultural changes
in optical illusion and color observation, in visual consideration, and in brain performance
that governs visual attention.

Cultural Effects on Visual Illusion:

This specific visual illusion is used to show how humans can observe our universe. The
Muller Lyer illusion was able to show that people recognize the line segment finishing inside
the pointing arrows is longer than the horizontal line segment ending in outside-pointing
arrows. For example, the people show efficient errors in the Murray Islanders in Toda tribe
peoples compared to the British counterparts in judging the close lengths of the lines. The 17
societies of wide cross-culture such as different African cropping culture and hunter-gatherer
cultures, foraging culture of Australian, horticulture of Filipino tribes and U.S.
Midwesterners. The degree of visual illusion is greater and strongest between the U.S
residents. Moreover, the offspring in some cultures for example cultures of hunter-gatherer’s
people located in the Kalahari Desert are protected by the Muller-Lyre illusion. The results
show the person who grows in the environment is not in danger to the illusion of Muller Lyre.
The different studies have planned hypotheses to observe the chief causes of cultural changes
in the vulnerability to this illusion.

The carpentered environment theory:


The carpentered environment theory, for example, proposes that individual development
obtain the insight of a three-dimensional world in agreement with their experiences with the
close environment mainly in the society of Western industrialization. It includes the person
field depth is start on the structure of houses, furnishings, and room contains the upright and
flat lines with the corner in a different of angles. The individual in this society connected with
the acute angles with closely related objects that include the edge of a rug, and obtuse angles
with rather distant views like the junction of two walls and the ground. Once they obtain this
definite perceptual pattern in the 3-dimensional world, the relevant similar rules even when
they examine the visual depiction in the 2-dimensional field. The Western viewpoint in art is
an excellent example. From a Western viewpoint, substances close to the observer are
drained better and are characterized by acute angles, and substance beyond the observer is
drawn.
