Recall the method used by Hudson (1960) to test for cultural differences on visual perception.
Showing pictures with different depth cues.
Showing pictures of hunting scenes.
Showing split drawings and impossible figures.
Showing sets of images in order to prime participants' interpretations of ambiguous images.
Identify the aim of Hudson's (1960) study.
To investigate pictorial representation in remote Ethiopian communities.
To investigate the role of frequency in developing perceptual set.
To investigate the influence of perceptual set on depth perception.
To study cultural differences in depth perception (Subcultural Africa vs Caucasian).
Identify the research method used by Hudson (1960).
Quasi, independent groups experimental design.
Independent groups experimental design.
Correlational design.
Repeated measures experimental design.
Determine which response(s) to the image shown would have seen participants classified as 3D perceivers.
Select ALL correct options.
The antelope was nearer the hunter.
The elephant was nearer the hunter.
The hunter was facing the antelope.
The hunter was aiming his spear at the elephant.
Determine which response to the image would have been made by participants classified as 3D perceivers.
The antelope was closest to the man.
The bird was closest to the man.
The elephant was closest to the man.
They were all equally close to each other.
Recall where the participants in Hudson's (1960) study were tested.

Mekan
Identify the depth cue(s) that are represented in the image shown.
Select ALL correct options.
Height in visual field
Linear perspective
Relative size
Interposition
Identify the depth cue(s) that are represented by the image shown.
Height in visual field
Linear perspective
Relative size
Interposition
Identify the factor attributed by Hudson (1960) that was a determinant of whether participants were able to recognise perspective in two-dimensional drawings.
Biological factors
Cultural factors
Physical factors
Psychological factors
The results of Hudson's (1960) investigation and pictures of the hunting scene are generally taken as evidence that:
Both children and adults from many different African tribes cannot perceive depth in drawings.
Interpreting pictures is an innate ability.
Members of non-Western cultures are less intelligent than those of Western cultures.
None of the above.
Determine the correct order of the terms to complete the following passage.
Interposition (overlapping of visual objects) was the ______ effective depth cue, ______ participants' perception of depth _____ than relative size.
On the other hand, linear perspective was the _____ effective depth cue, _____ depth perception for most groups.
least, decreasing, more, least, decreasing
most, increasing, more, least, decreasing
most, increasing, less, least, decreasing
least, decreasing, less, most, increasing
Hudson (1960) noted difficulties among some South African workers in interpreting depth cues in pictures. Such cues are important because they convey information about the spatial relationships among the objects in pictures.
Identify the conclusion that Hudson came to.
There are differences in the ability of groups tested to interpret 2D images three-dimensionally because of their varying levels of formal education (schooling).
The ability of participants to interpret 2D images three-dimensionally depended on whether they were intelligent enough to attend a university where they learned visual perception principles.
There were differences in the ability of groups tested to interpret 2D images three-dimensionally because of abilities linked to specific physiological and cultural differences between the races.
There are differences in the ability of groups tested to interpret 2D images three-dimensionally because of their varying levels of formal (schooling) and informal (socialisation) education.
Explain how cultural skills impact visual perception. Provide an example from Hudson's (1960) investigation to support your response.
