the light-sensitive tissue that lines the
back of the eye

This part of the eyes function is to open or close
to control the amount of light that
reaches the retina.

This is an example of

• monocular distance cue

• Pictorial cue

• interpostion

• Binocular disparity

a distance cue in which our brain compares our two eyes’ information about the distance between objects against each other.

Information about an object to be processed in the what system also includes information about its location within the visual field.

• neural firing synchrony

• the role of attention

• spatial position

The ______, the clear outer surface of the eye, together with the lens, gathers and focuses light onto the retina

when parallel lines seem to get closer together as they get farther from you. Linear perspective can be achieved with just one eye.
