Depth Perception

The ‘rules’ that we apply to visual information to help us organise and interpret it are called:

• Visual rules

• Visual perception

• Visual systems

• Visual perception principles

Depth perception is defines as:

• The ability to perceive the world in 2D

• The ability to perceive the world in 3D.

• The ability to accurately estimate the depth of objects and therefore perceive the world in 3D.

• The ability to accurately estimate the distance of objects and therefore perceive the world in 3D.

People who can only see from one eye cannot use:

• Monocular depth cues

• Gestalt principles

• Perceptual constancies

• Binocular depth cues

Pictorial depth cues can be identified in images e.g. artworks. Which of the following is NOT a pictorial depth cue?

• Height in the visual field

• Accommodation

• Linear perspective

• Texture gradient

The two binocular depth cues are...

• Convergence and retinal disparity

• Convergence and accommodation

• Accommodation and retinal disparity

• Retinal disparity and linear perspective

Perceptual constancy refers to how we perceive an object as remaining stable and unchanging despite any changes in the location of the _________.

• Image

• Retina

• Photoreceptors

• Iris

Which depth cue involves the adjustment of the shape of the lens to focus on an object?

• Retinal disparity

• Accommodation

• Convergence

• None of these

Which pictorial depth cue is being represented in this image?

• Relative size

• Height in the visual field

• Linear perspective

• Interposition

Which pictorial depth cues are represented in this image?

• Retinal disparity, accommodation, convergence

• Relative size, linear perspective, height in the visual field

• Relative size, linear perspective, interposition

• Texture gradient, relative size, accommodation

Which of these statements is true about convergence?

• The further away the object gets from the eye, the greater the tension in the eye muscles becomes to focus on the object.

• The closer the object gets to the eye, the greater the tension in the eye muscles becomes to focus on the object.

• The tension of the eye does not change whether the object is close or far away.
