Question 10

Retinal disparity and convergence are both binocular cues of depth perception.

Accepted Answer

Retinal disparity refers to the slight difference between the images received by the left and right eye, which is used by the brain to perceive depth. Convergence refers to the degree to which the eyes turn inward to focus on an object, which also provides information about depth. Both of these cues require the use of both eyes, making them binocular cues.
