Depth Perception
Psychology ⇒ Sensation and Perception
Depth Perception starts at 11 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Depth Perception.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
Describe how convergence provides information about depth.
Describe how light and shadow can be used to perceive depth in a two-dimensional image.
Describe how the brain uses retinal disparity to perceive depth.
Describe the difference between monocular and binocular depth cues.
Explain how the concept of relative motion helps in depth perception when observing a moving train from a stationary position.
In a scenario where a person is looking at a row of streetlights receding into the distance, which depth cue is primarily at work? (1) Retinal disparity (2) Linear perspective (3) Convergence (4) Motion parallax
The visual cliff experiment demonstrated that depth perception is present in infants as young as __________ months old.
True or False: The Ponzo illusion demonstrates how linear perspective can influence depth perception.
