AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Retinal disparity is the fact that the left and right fields of vision provide slightly different visual images when focusing on a single object. It is a type of binocular visual cue that allows people to perceive depth and distance.

Detailed explanation-2: -noun. : the slight difference in the two retinal images due to the angle from which each eye views an object.

Detailed explanation-3: -Retinal disparity increases as the eyes get closer to an object. The brain uses retinal disparity to estimate the distance between the viewer and the object being viewed. Convergence is when the eyes turn inward to look at an object close up.

Detailed explanation-4: -Binocular disparity refers to the difference in image location of an object seen by the left and right eyes, resulting from the eyes’ horizontal separation (parallax). The brain uses binocular disparity to extract depth information from the two-dimensional retinal images in stereopsis.

Detailed explanation-5: -For example, there is the binocular depth cue called disparity. Disparity arises from the fact that our two eyes have a slightly different view of the world. To allow you to see disparity requires either real depth or two images developed as if from different positions like our eyes.
