Aerial Perspective
Texture Gradient
Depth of Field
Linear Perspective
#3

According to the Monocular Cues Theory, which cue involves the perception of depth based on the apparent size of objects relative to the background?

Relative Size
Interposition
Texture Gradient
Linear Perspective
#4

According to the Gestalt Theory, what principle suggests that objects that are close to each other are perceived as a group?

Closure
Proximity
Similarity
Continuity
#5

Which monocular cue involves the perception of depth based on the apparent overlap of one object by another?

Relative Size
Interposition
Linear Perspective
Overlap
#6

Which theory proposes that depth perception is innate and does not require prior learning?

Monocular Cues Theory
Ecological Approach
Gibsonian Theory
Binocular Disparity Theory
#7

What is the term for the phenomenon where objects closer to the viewer appear to move faster than objects farther away when the viewer is in motion?

Pictorial Depth Cues
Motion Parallax
Stereoscopic Vision
Accommodation
#8

Which depth perception theory emphasizes the importance of the retina in providing depth cues and does not rely on cognitive processes?

Information Processing Theory
Monocular Cues Theory
Ecological Approach
Depth Constancy Theory
#9

Who proposed the concept of 'motion parallax' as a depth cue that results from movement of the observer?

Irvin Rock
Richard Gregory
J.J. Gibson
David Marr
#10

In the context of monocular cues, what is the term for the phenomenon where parallel lines converge as they extend into the distance?

Relative Size
Linear Perspective
Interposition
Aerial Perspective
#11

What term is used to describe the process by which the brain combines the slightly different images from each eye to perceive depth?

Retinal Disparity
Stereopsis
Convergence
Depth Fusion
#12

Which depth perception theory suggests that the brain processes visual information holistically, perceiving objects as organized wholes rather than individual parts?

Binocular Disparity Theory
Gestalt Theory
Depth Constancy Theory
Ecological Approach
#13

Which monocular cue involves the tendency to perceive objects that are partially obscured by another object as closer?

Relative Size
Overlap
Linear Perspective
Texture Gradient
#14

Who proposed the influential theory known as the 'two-thirds power law' in the context of binocular disparity?

J.J. Gibson
Richard Gregory
Irvin Rock
David Marr
#15

Which depth perception theory suggests that the brain uses information from both eyes to construct a three-dimensional representation of the environment?

Gibsonian Theory
Binocular Disparity Theory
Depth Constancy Theory
Ecological Approach
#16

Which depth perception theory emphasizes the role of learning and experience in the perception of depth?

Binocular Disparity Theory
Gibsonian Theory
Depth Constancy Theory
Empirical Learning Theory
#17

Which depth perception theory focuses on the importance of the observer's movements and interaction with the environment for perceiving depth?

Monocular Cues Theory
Ecological Approach
Binocular Disparity Theory
Information Processing Theory
#18

In the context of depth perception, what is the term for the phenomenon where objects at a greater distance appear less detailed and less textured than nearby objects?

Relative Size
Texture Gradient
Aerial Perspective
Depth Blur
#19

According to the Binocular Disparity Theory, what is the term for the slight difference in the images seen by the left and right eyes, which the brain uses to perceive depth?

Retinal Disparity
Convergence
Stereopsis
Depth Fusion
