Delayed pointing movements to masked Müller-Lyer figures are affected by target size but not the illusion

► Subjects were exposed to masked M-L stimuli in a perception task and a delayed action task. ► Perceptual categorization was at chance levels. ► However, actions were affected by stimulus length, but not the illusion. ► Implications: (1) vision for action may be functional after a delay; (2) distinct thresholds may exist for allocentric and egocentric information.
