AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Monocular depth cue: A depth cue that is available even when the world is viewed with one eye alone. Occlusion: A cue to relative depth order in which, for example, one object partially obstructs the view of another object.

Detailed explanation-2: -The brain perceives three main types of visual signals, called depth cues, to create a three-dimensional image: Binocular – Depth cue from both eyes. Monocular – Depth cue from one eye. Oculomotor – Depth cue from focusing on an object.

Detailed explanation-3: -Background. Monocular depth cues are the information in the retinal image that gives us information about depth and distance but can be inferred from just a single retina (or eye). In everyday life, of course, we perceive these cues with both eyes, but they are just as usable with only one functioning eye.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humans can perceive depth when viewing with one eye, and even when viewing a two-dimensional picture of a three-dimensional scene. However, viewing a real scene with both eyes produces a more compelling three-dimensional experience of immersive space and tangible solid objects.

Detailed explanation-5: -If you close one eye, however, you’ll notice that you can still perceive depth. This is thanks to a number of extra visual cues that our brains exploit. For example, we know the size of things from memory, so if an object looks smaller than expected we know it’s further away.
