AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Interposition is a monocular cue that occurs when one object obscures another, which causes the object that is partially covered to appear more distant. Because we only see part of what we expect, we interpret the object that is partially covered as being further away.

Detailed explanation-2: -Occultation (also referred to as interposition) happens when near surfaces overlap far surfaces. If one object partially blocks the view of another object, humans perceive it as closer. However, this information only allows the observer to create a “ranking” of relative nearness.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. Occlusion is a monocular depth cue produced by partially overlapping objects: Objects that partially block other parts of the scene are perceived to be closer to an observer than the blocked objects.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interposition (Overlap): If one object partially blocks another, the one that is partially blocked is perceived to be farther away.

Detailed explanation-5: -Interposition is a perceptual cue in which the distances of two separate objects are judged based on the fact that one object partially obscures or overlaps the other object. The object that is partially obscured is perceived to be farther away than the object that appears to be whole or complete.
