2010年，汤普森报告了一种“胖脸瘦”的错觉，即当一张脸倒过来时，一张直立的脸看起来“更胖”。Sun et al（2012 Perception 41 117-120）观察到，其中一张脸不需要被颠倒就能出现错觉：当两张相同的脸一张在另一张上面时，底部的脸看起来比顶部的脸“胖”。无论是颠倒的脸还是时钟都不会引起这种错觉。在这里，我们进行了三个实验，探讨的作用，面部轮廓发挥在生产胖脸错觉。实验一发现线条画面孔能诱发错觉，提示面孔轮廓对错觉的产生有重要作用。在实验中，发现了2个内部特征混乱的线条画面孔和没有内部特征的空线条画面孔诱发了错觉。在实验3中，发现内部面孔特征排列在他们的规范面孔布局中，而不是在混乱的布局中，会引起错觉。然而，效果的大小显着弱于实验2中获得的空面轮廓的效果。总的来说，这些结果表明，当刺激中有足够的信息激活内部面孔图式时，就会产生胖脸错觉。
In 2010 Thompson reported a "fat face thin" illusion that, when next to an inverted face, an upright face looks "fatter". Sun et al (2012 Perception 41 117-120) observed that one of the faces need not be inverted for the illusion to emerge: when two identical faces are presented one above the other, the face at the bottom appears "fatter" than the top one. Neither inverted faces nor clocks induced the illusion. Here we conducted three experiments probing the role that face contour plays in producing the fat face illusion. In experiment 1 line drawing faces were found to induce the illusion, suggesting that face contour is important for producing the illusion. In experiment 2 line drawing faces with scrambled internal features and empty line drawing faces devoid of internal features were found to induce the illusion. In experiment 3 internal face features arranged in their canonical face layout, but not in a scrambled layout, were found to induce the illusion. However, the magnitude of the effect was significantly weaker than the effect obtained for empty face contour in experiment 2. Collectively, these results suggest that a fat face illusion is obtained when there is sufficient information in the stimulus to activate an internal face schema.
