The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Psychologists learned about perception from optical illusions that the response of the senses, when faced with optical stimuli, is different and can be measured because the human can interpret an optical stimulus as being real.

Gustav Fechner (1801-1887) was a German physicist who developed the science that studied quantitative relations of stimuli and sensations. It is called psychophysics. In 1860, he published the book "Elements of Psychophysics," in which he studies how the perception determines the sensory input.

Answer:

Explanation:

That an optical illusion somehow interferes with the way we see things. Even simple illusions can completely fool us. If you search out the term, you'll see all kinds of them.

Most critically we see one thing and know another to be true. But knowing the truth doesn't help us. We still see and believe the truth of the illusion.

neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.
