The apparent strength of subjective contours was investigated in 30 human subjects as a function of illumination level, figure size and viewing distance. Magnitude estimation, with a real contour standard as the modulus, was used to measure the perceived strength of the illusory contours. Illumination level and retinal size are both powerful determinants of the apparent strength of subjective contours, generating magnitude estimates varying from 20-96% of the strength of the real contour modulus. Particularly strong subjective contours were reported for figures of small retinal size (1.2-4.8 deg) under very dim illumination (.10 log lx).
