[3] Cognition [Visual Cues]

Question 1

Binocular depth cues

Answer 1

Depth cues that require the use of both eyes such as retinal disparity and convergence.

Question 2

Retinal disparity

Answer 2

The slight difference in the images seen by each eye that leads to a sense of depth.

Question 3

Convergence

Answer 3

The inward turning of the eyes when focusing on a nearby object contributing to depth perception.

Question 4

Monocular depth cues

Answer 4

Cues to depth perception available to one eye including relative size

Question 5

Relative clarity

Answer 5

The clarity or crispness of an object’s outline which indicates its distance with sharper objects appearing closer.

Question 6

Relative size

Answer 6

The perception of objects as smaller the farther away they are and larger when they are closer.

Question 7

Texture gradient

Answer 7

The gradual change in texture detail becoming finer with distance

Question 8

Linear perspective

Answer 8

A cue for depth perception where parallel lines appear to converge as they recede into the distance.

Question 9

Interposition

Answer 9

The cue that when one object overlaps another the partially covered object is perceived as farther away.

Question 10

Perceptual Constancies

Answer 10

The tendency to see objects as stable and unchanging despite changes in sensory information.

Question 11

Apparent movement

Answer 11

The perception of movement in static images through sequential flashes or the rapid presentation of still images.
