Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depth perception is the ability to perceive the visual world in three dimensions, allowing us to see the distance between objects and to perceive objects as having volume. Therefore, the best choice is C, depth perception. A is incorrect because "three-dimensional perception" is not a commonly used term in psychology or neuroscience. B is incorrect because while volume perception is certainly related to depth perception, it is not the same thing. Finally, D is incorrect because monochromatic vision refers to seeing only shades of one color, and is not related to depth perception at all.
