Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is an example of a MONOCULAR CUE of depth perception?
A
priming
B
figure-ground
C
relative size
D
retinal disparity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monocular cues include relative size (distant objects subtend smaller visual angles than near objects), texture gradient, occlusion, linear perspective, contrast differences, and motion parallax.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monocular depth cues include: Objects that are farther away look smaller to the eye, while objects that are closer up look larger.

Detailed explanation-3: -Relative size This monocular cue gives you the ability to measure how far away something is. It works by judging how big or small the object is and what that means in relation to other objects you’ve interacted with in the past. Here’s an example: When you see a plane fly by in the sky above you, it looks really small.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocular depth cues are cues to depth, or to three-dimensional space, which only require the function of one eye. There are nine monocular depth cues: occlusion, relative size, relative height, texture gradient, familiar size, linear perspective, aerial perspective, shading, and motion parallax.

Detailed explanation-5: -“Retinal disparity” is a binocular depth cue, not a monocular cue. The other answers-relative size cue, texture gradient, and linear perspective-are all monocular cues.
