Cues that provide information about depth on the basis of the position of objects in the retinal image, the size of objects in the retinal image, and the effects of lighting in the retinal image are called _____ depth cues.
A) binocular
B) dynamic monocular
C) static monocular
D) oculomotor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Static monocular depth cues are visual information about depth that can be perceived with one eye. These cues include the position of objects in the retinal image, the size of objects (larger objects are perceived as closer), and the effects of lighting (shadows can give clues about the distance and shape of objects). These cues do not require movement or the use of both eyes, distinguishing them from dynamic monocular cues (which involve motion) and binocular cues (which involve both eyes). Oculomotor cues involve the sensation of the muscles controlling eye movement, which is not relevant to the question's focus on visual information from the retinal image.
