A teacher asked his class to write a short passage about their grandmother prior to asking them what they see in the picture. He found that 80% of the students said an "old woman", 15% "a young woman" and 5% something else.

This is likely an example of ...

• fiction

• priming

• distortion

• constancy

Billy sees a cyclist in the distance. The cyclist looks very small. When Billy, a little later, turns back he sees a cyclist who is much near to him. Despite the change in the size of the image on Billy's retina, she assumes it is the same cyclist. This is an example of which type of constancy and depth cue?

• shape

  linear perspective

• colour

  texture gradient

• size

  relative size

Philip has to temporarily wear an eye patch. How will this likely affect his ability to perceive depth?

• improve it

• it will have no effect

• worsen it

Steve reads about a study of perception in which participants look through a gazing hole at a picture, whilst their head is fixed in place by resting their chin.

Steve criticizes the procedure, saying that the picture is only 2D and people usually make sense of visual stimuli by moving around it.

Steve's criticism is an example of ...

• lack of population validity

• lack internal reliability

• lack of ecological validity

• lack of internal validity

Sally asked 40 participants to state one thing they see in the image. She found that 45% said they saw a cube. This is an example of

• shape constancy

Which depth cue is exemplified in the diagram by the red lines?

• converging lines

• the parallel cue

• linear perspective
