• how we make sense of visual cues

The name of this illusion is:

• the Kanizsa triangle

• the Ponzo illusion

• The Muller Lyer illusion

• Linear perspective

The Ponzo illusion is misinterpreted with which depth cue?

• relative size

• occlusion

• linear perspective

• height in plain

Which of these is a binocular depth cue?

• Occlusion

• Convergence

• Height in plane

• Size constancy

'The closer something is, the bigger the jump' is the effect of:

• size constancy

• height in plane

• convergence

• retinal disparity

Who said that Perception is learned?

• Gibson

• Gregory

• Gilchrist

• Nesberg

Gregory's constructivist theory of perception argues that perception:

• is learned as a baby, demonstrated by the visual cliff

• uses our innate abilities to construct the world around us

• uses inferences from visual cues and past experience to construct a model of reality

• is something we are born with

The role of the brain in convergence is:

• it processes an image through inferences and visual cues

• it interprets the difference in images as the distance of an object

• the left eye sees an image slightly differently to the right

• it picks up signals from eye movements about distance

The aim of Gilchrist and Nesberg's study was to see if:

• perception is affected by food

• food deprivation affects the perception of food

• the perception of an ambiguous figure is affected by context

• expectation is a factor which affects perception
