The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Immediate susceptibility to visual illusions after sight onset (2015, unknown): “Results from cross-cultural studies have provided support to experience-based explanations [7].”
Tastes, Castes, and Culture: The Influence of Society on Preferences (2011, unknown): “The cross-cultural experiments by Segall et al. (1966) document striking cultural differences in the susceptibility of people to the MüllerLyer illusion. In a few societies, the illusion was completely absent while among European and US subjects the illusion was strongest. Segall et al. (1966) sugge”
Weird people, yes, but also weird experiments (2010, unknown): “ One of the pair—the proposer—can offer a portion of this sum to a second subject, the responder.”
Susceptibility to the Müller-Lyer Illusion, Theory-Neutral Observation, and the Diachronic Penetrability of the Visual Input System (2006, methodology): “Corroborating the findings of W. H. R. Rivers’ (1901, 1905) pioneering work in the early twentieth century on visual illusions, Segall, Campbell, and Herskovits (1966) performed one of the most extensive, rigorously controlled, cross-cultural experimental projects in the history of collaboration…”
Beyond WEIRD: Towards a broad-based behavioral science (2010, unknown): “Segall et al. (1966) manipulated the length of the two lines in the Müller-Lyer illusion (Fig.”
