Study Notes
Depth Perception Cues
- Binocular cue: Stereopsis, which helps us perceive depth by comparing the slightly different images from each eye.
- Binocular cue: Convergence, which helps us perceive depth by the eyes contracting when objects are close to us.
- Monocular cue: Relative size, which helps us perceive depth by objects appearing smaller when they are farther away.
- Monocular cue: Overlapping, which helps us perceive depth by objects appearing closer when they overlap other objects.
Sensory Adaptation
- Light adaptation: occurs when our pupils constrict and our rods and cones become desensitized to light.
Test your knowledge of visual cues and depth perception with this quiz! Learn about binocular cues such as retinal disparity and convergence, as well as monocular cues like relative size, interposition, and motion parallax. Explore how constancy affects our perception of objects.
