Which monocular depth cue involves the apparent size of an object?

Relative Size

Explanation

Perception of depth based on an object's size relative to other objects.

What is the term for the phenomenon where an object partially blocks the view of another object, indicating that the blocked object is farther away?

Interposition

Explanation

Perception of depth based on objects partially obstructing others.

Which monocular depth cue involves the clarity of vision, where objects that are closer appear clearer than those in the distance?

Clear Vision

Explanation

Perception of depth based on clearer vision of closer objects.

Which monocular depth cue involves the blurring of distant objects due to atmospheric conditions, making them appear less sharp and detailed?

Aerial Perspective

Explanation

Perception of depth based on atmospheric effects on distant objects' clarity.

Which monocular depth cue involves the change in the apparent texture of a surface as it recedes into the distance?

Texture Gradient

Explanation

Perception of depth based on texture becoming less detailed with distance.

In the context of depth perception, what does the term 'stereopsis' refer to?

Binocular Disparity

Explanation

Brain's interpretation of differences in images from each eye to perceive depth.

Which of the following is a monocular depth cue based on the tendency of parallel lines to converge as they recede into the distance?

Linear Perspective

Explanation

Perception of depth due to parallel lines appearing to converge.

In the context of depth perception, what does the term 'aerial perspective' refer to?

Atmospheric Perspective

Explanation

Perception of depth due to atmospheric effects on distant objects.

Which monocular depth cue involves the gradual fading of details and colors as an object recedes into the distance?

Texture Gradient

Explanation

Perception of depth based on texture becoming less distinct with distance.

#10

What is the term for the perceived stability of an object's size despite variations in the size of its retinal image?

Depth Constancy

Explanation

Perception that an object's size remains constant despite changes in distance.

#11

What is the phenomenon where nearby objects move across our visual field faster than distant objects, creating a perception of depth?

Motion Parallax

Explanation

Perception of depth due to relative motion of objects at different distances.

#12

Which binocular depth cue involves the degree to which eyes turn inward to focus on an object?

Convergence

Explanation

Eyes turning inward to focus, indicating depth perception.

#13

What is the term for the perception that objects closer to us are more detailed and distinct than objects farther away?

Depth Constancy

Explanation

Perception that objects maintain their size and shape despite changes in distance.

#14

In the context of binocular vision, what does the term 'vergence' refer to?

Convergence

Explanation

Coordination of eye movements to focus on an object.

#15

What is the term for the ability to maintain focus on an object as the distance between the eyes and the object changes?

Accommodation

Explanation

Adjustment of the lens to keep objects in focus at varying distances.
