Abstract—Twenty children,  5 to 6 years old,  were offered a series of paired images. The task was to find the differences in details as quickly as possible. The images could be the same or one picture could be 10% larger than  another, or, one picture could seem larger than another (visual illusion of Ponzo and Delboeuf). The time and the accuracy were measured for each pair of images. Significant differences in visual search were found for images with illusory differences, real differences  in size, and identical ones. Children need more time to make the decision in the pictures illusory different in size. We did not find significant influence of illusion on the accuracy in the task. We suggest to take the factors related to the development of perception or cognition into the account, since it can lead to different results in visual search tasks  for groups of children of the same age.  

Keywords—visual illusions, visual search, preschool children
