Which part of the eye is responsible for adjusting the focus of an image?

Lens

Explanation

Lens adjusts image focus.

What is the phenomenon where the apparent size of an object remains constant despite changes in its retinal image size?

Size constancy

Explanation

Size constancy: apparent size remains constant.

What is the term for the tendency to perceive a series of still images as continuous motion, commonly observed in movies and animations?

Persistence of vision

Explanation

Persistence of vision: perceiving still images as continuous motion.

Which part of the eye is responsible for controlling the size of the pupil and the amount of light entering the eye?

Iris

Explanation

Iris controls pupil size and light entering the eye.

What is the term for the phenomenon where objects in the visual field that are close together are perceived as a group?

Proximity

Explanation

Proximity: objects close together are perceived as a group.

What is the term for the ability to perceive the three-dimensional shape of objects?

Depth perception

Explanation

Depth perception is the ability to perceive 3D shape.

In the context of visual perception, what does the term 'Gestalt' refer to?

Organized whole

Explanation

Gestalt refers to perceiving an organized whole.

What is the term for the inability to recognize faces, often as a result of brain injury?

Prosopagnosia

Explanation

Prosopagnosia is the inability to recognize faces.

Which optical illusion involves perceiving movement in stationary images?

Autokinetic effect

Explanation

Autokinetic effect is perceiving movement in still images.

#10

What term is used to describe the ability of the eyes to maintain a stable image of a moving object on the retina?

Pursuit

Explanation

Pursuit: eyes maintain stable image of moving object.

#11

What phenomenon occurs when an object is perceived as having the same color under different lighting conditions?

Color constancy

Explanation

Color constancy is perceiving consistent color despite lighting changes.

#12

Which part of the brain is primarily responsible for processing visual information?

Occipital lobe

Explanation

Occipital lobe processes visual information.

#13

What is the term for the phenomenon where objects are perceived as being closer together when they are aligned in a straight line?

Proximity

Explanation

Proximity is objects appearing closer when aligned.

#14

Which depth cue relies on the fact that objects farther away appear hazier and less distinct than closer objects?

Aerial perspective

Explanation

Aerial perspective: distant objects appear hazier.

#15

Which visual processing pathway is primarily associated with the identification of objects, such as recognizing faces?

Ventral stream

Explanation

Ventral stream: identifies objects like faces.
