Question 1

How blurry-looking an object appears and linear perspective are cues associated with _______ depth perception.

Accepted Answer

Monocular cues are visual cues that can be perceived with only one eye, such as blurry-looking objects and linear perspective. Binocular disparity, on the other hand, requires the use of both eyes to perceive depth. Kinesthetic depth perception is based on the sense of movement and position of our own body and limbs rather than visual cues.

Question 2

If perceptual information aiding in depth perception must be drawn simultaneously from both eyes,it is referred to as _______.

Accepted Answer

Binocular cues require input from both eyes in order to aid in depth perception. Monocular cues, on the other hand, can be perceived with just one eye. Contralateral input refers to information from one side of the body being processed in the opposite side of the brain. Duoretinal image is not a commonly used term in psychology or neuroscience.

Question 3

Which of the following is an example of a monocular cue?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is an example...

Question 4

Texture gradient refers to the fact that texture appears to become _______.

Accepted Answer

Texture gradient refers to the fact that texture appears to become less detailed in the distance. This is because, as objects move farther away, they appear smaller and the details become less visible.

Question 5

A drawing of a gravel road depicts the tiny rocks as becoming smaller and less distinct as one looks "down the lane." This simulation of depth on a two-dimensional sheet of paper is an example of the _______ cue.

Accepted Answer

Texture gradient refers to the way texture changes as it recedes into the distance, becoming less distinct and more compressed. This is exactly what is being depicted in the drawing of the gravel road. Interposition refers to objects overlapping one another to convey depth, elevation refers specifically to height differences, and shadowing is the use of shadows to create the illusion of depth.

Question 6

The impression of depth can be created or enhanced in visual art by encouraging the person viewing a drawing to assume that converging lines are actually parallel.This artistic ploy uses the depth cue of _______.

Accepted Answer

Linear perspective is the depth cue that involves using converging lines to create a sense of depth and distance in a 2D image. By making lines that would typically converge in the distance appear parallel, the artist can trick the viewer's brain into perceiving greater depth in the image.

Question 7

An object's elevation is a perspective cue to _______.

Accepted Answer

An object's elevation (height above or below the horizon) is a perspective cue that helps us perceive its distance from the observer. Objects that are at a higher elevation are usually perceived as being farther away, while objects that are closer to the ground or horizon appear nearer. The elevation of an object can also impact the way it appears in terms of size and shape, but these are not directly related to the perspective cue of elevation. Shadowing can also provide information about an object's position and orientation, but it is not a perspective cue like elevation.

Question 8

Clearness and linear perspective are examples of _______ cues for depth perception.

Accepted Answer

Clearness and linear perspective are both monocular cues for depth perception, meaning they can be perceived with one eye alone. Binocular cues require both eyes, such as retinal disparity, and kinetic cues involve motion, such as motion parallax. Therefore, the best choice is C, monocular cues.

Question 9

Which of the following choices is NOT a monocular cue that painters can incorporate into their work to convey information about the relative distances of objects?

Accepted Answer

Convergence is a binocular cue that requires both eyes to perceive depth and distance. Monocular cues are visual clues that can be perceived by one eye. Therefore, convergence is not a monocular cue that painters can incorporate into their work.

Question 10

The monocular distance cue in which objects closer than the point of visual focus seem to move in the direction opposite to the viewer's moving head,and objects beyond the viewing point move in the same direction as the viewer's head is _______.

Accepted Answer

This describes the concept of motion parallax, where objects closer than the point of focus move in the opposite direction of the head movement and objects beyond the focus point move in the same direction as the head movement. Retinal disparity refers to the slight difference in the image seen by each eye, subliminal motion refers to motion that is not consciously perceived, and motion differential is not a recognized term in psychology.

Question 11

"One-eye vision is to _______ as two-eye vision is to ________."

Accepted Answer

The answer of "One-eye vision is to _______ as two-eye...

Question 12

While riding on a train,David notices that the trees and telephone poles close to the tracks seem to flash by,while the buildings,trees,and mountains that are farther away seem to move by more slowly.This phenomenon is called ________.

Accepted Answer

This phenomenon is called motion parallax, which refers to the perceived difference in motion of objects that are at different distances from the observer. Objects that are closer to the observer appear to move by more quickly, while objects that are farther away seem to move more slowly. This effect is commonly observed while riding on a train or in a car, where objects close to the vehicle's path appear to move by quickly, while objects in the distance appear to move more slowly.

Question 13

The distance cue in which two parallel lines extend into the distance and seem to come together at one point is called __________.

Accepted Answer

This is referring to linear perspective, where two lines that are parallel in real life converge or appear to come together in the distance. This is a cue that we rely on to perceive depth and distance in our environment. Aerial perspective refers to the way that distant objects appear hazier and bluer, shadowing refers to the way that shadows can give us information about the location of objects, and motion parallax refers to the way that objects seem to move at different rates depending on how far away they are from us.

Question 14

The distance cue in which two parallel lines extend into the distance and seem to come together at one point is called _______.

Accepted Answer

This is referring to the concept of linear perspective, in which objects that are parallel appear to converge towards a vanishing point in the distance.

Question 15

The distance cue in which faraway objects appear to be hazy and have a blurred outline is called _______.

Accepted Answer

The distance cue in which faraway objects appear to be hazy and have a blurred outline is called aerial perspective. Linear perspective refers to the way parallel lines seem to converge in the distance, shadowing refers to the way shadows can indicate depth and dimension, and motion parallax refers to the way objects appear to move at different rates depending on their distance from us.

Question 16

When you look out the window of a car that is traveling 60 mph,close objects appear:

Accepted Answer

This is due to the concept of relative motion, which states that objects closer to us appear to move faster than objects farther away. As the car is moving forward, any objects that are closer to the car will appear to move faster than objects that are farther away, even if they are moving at the same rate. This effect is known as the parallax effect.

Question 17

While riding on a train,David notices that the trees and telephone poles close to the tracks seem to flash by,while the buildings,trees,and mountains that are farther away seem to move by more slowly.This phenomenon is called _____________.

Accepted Answer

The phenomenon described is motion parallax, which is the apparent movement of objects that are closer to the observer passing by faster compared to objects farther away.

Question 18

When you look out the window of a car that is traveling 60 mph,objects at different locations appear to move in different directions and different speeds.This apparent motion is known as:

Accepted Answer

The apparent motion of objects at different locations when looking out of a moving car is known as motion parallax. The other options (kinetic depth effect, movement illusion, and linear perspective) are not the appropriate terms for describing this phenomenon.

Question 19

Shadowing is a cue to _______.

Accepted Answer

Shadowing is a visual cue that helps us perceive depth by indicating the relative position of objects in a scene. It can also provide information about the shape and texture of objects. Therefore, the best choice is C, depth perception.
