In which depth perception theory is the focus on the role of the brain in processing visual information to perceive depth?

Information Processing Theory

Explanation

Brain processes visual info to perceive depth.

What is the term for the depth cue that involves the blurring of distant objects compared to the sharp focus of nearby objects?

Aerial Perspective

Explanation

Distant objects blur compared to nearby sharp ones.

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

Explanation

Depth perception based on relative object size.

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

Proximity

Explanation

Objects close to each other are perceived as a group.

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

Overlap

Explanation

Depth perception based on apparent overlap of objects.

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

Gibsonian Theory

Explanation

Depth perception is innate, not learned.

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?

Motion Parallax

Explanation

Objects closer move faster when viewer is in motion.

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

Monocular Cues Theory

Explanation

Retina provides depth cues without cognitive processes.

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

J.J. Gibson

Explanation

J.J. Gibson proposed 'motion parallax.'

#10

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

Linear Perspective

Explanation

Parallel lines converge with distance.

#11

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

Stereopsis

Explanation

Brain combines images from each eye for depth perception.

#12

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

Gestalt Theory

Explanation

Brain perceives objects as organized wholes.

#13

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

Overlap

Explanation

Partially obscured objects are perceived as closer.

#14

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

Irvin Rock

Explanation

Irvin Rock proposed the 'two-thirds power law.'

#15

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

Binocular Disparity Theory

Explanation

Brain uses info from both eyes for 3D perception.

#16

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

Depth Constancy Theory

Explanation

Learning and experience affect depth perception.

#17

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

Ecological Approach

Explanation

Observer's movements and interaction influence depth perception.

#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?

Aerial Perspective

Explanation

Distant objects appear less detailed.

#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

Explanation

Difference in images seen by each eye for depth perception.
