Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Visual angle is the angle that is subtended by an object at the eye, and it is inversely proportional to the distance of the object from the eye. As Akil moves the chair closer to himself, the visual angle of the chair increases. Therefore, increasing the visual angle is the best choice that describes the change in the chair's properties. Choice A (size constancy ratio) refers to the ability of the brain to maintain the perceived size of an object despite changes in its distance, which is not affected by the movement of the chair. Choice C (disparity) and Choice D (correspondence ratio) both relate to the process of binocular depth perception and are not relevant to this scenario.
