What is the primary cue for depth perception when viewing objects at a distance?

  1. Relative Size

  2. Linear Perspective

  3. Binocular Disparity

  4. Motion Parallax


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Linear perspective refers to the convergence of parallel lines as they recede into the distance, providing a cue for depth perception.

Which of the following is NOT a binocular cue for depth perception?

  1. Convergence

  2. Accommodation

  3. Retinal Disparity

  4. Motion Parallax


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Motion parallax is a monocular cue for depth perception, while convergence, accommodation, and retinal disparity are binocular cues.

What is the term for the difference in the retinal images of the two eyes?

  1. Retinal Disparity

  2. Convergence

  3. Accommodation

  4. Motion Parallax


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Retinal disparity refers to the difference in the images projected onto the retinas of the two eyes, which provides a cue for depth perception.

What is the process of adjusting the lens of the eye to focus on objects at different distances called?

  1. Convergence

  2. Accommodation

  3. Retinal Disparity

  4. Motion Parallax


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Accommodation refers to the process of adjusting the lens of the eye to focus on objects at different distances.

Which of the following is NOT a monocular cue for depth perception?

  1. Relative Size

  2. Linear Perspective

  3. Texture Gradient

  4. Motion Parallax


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Linear perspective is a binocular cue for depth perception, while relative size, texture gradient, and motion parallax are monocular cues.

What is the term for the phenomenon where objects appear to move in opposite directions when the head is moved?

  1. Convergence

  2. Accommodation

  3. Retinal Disparity

  4. Motion Parallax


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Motion parallax refers to the phenomenon where objects appear to move in opposite directions when the head is moved, providing a cue for depth perception.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects depth perception?

  1. Age

  2. Experience

  3. Culture

  4. Visual Acuity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Culture does not directly affect depth perception, while age, experience, and visual acuity are known to influence depth perception.

What is the term for the ability to perceive the relative distance of objects from the observer?

  1. Depth Perception

  2. Stereopsis

  3. Motion Parallax

  4. Visual Acuity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Depth perception refers to the ability to perceive the relative distance of objects from the observer.

Which of the following is NOT a disorder that can affect depth perception?

  1. Strabismus

  2. Amblyopia

  3. Astigmatism

  4. Cataracts


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Astigmatism is a refractive error that affects the clarity of vision, but it does not directly affect depth perception. Strabismus, amblyopia, and cataracts can all impair depth perception.

What is the term for the ability to perceive depth using only one eye?

  1. Monocular Depth Perception

  2. Stereopsis

  3. Motion Parallax

  4. Visual Acuity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Monocular depth perception refers to the ability to perceive depth using only one eye.

Which of the following is NOT a common method for measuring depth perception?

  1. Random Dot Stereopsis

  2. TNO Stereotest

  3. Howard-Dolman Test

  4. Visual Acuity Test


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Visual acuity test is used to measure visual sharpness, not depth perception. Random dot stereopsis, TNO Stereotest, and Howard-Dolman Test are all common methods for measuring depth perception.

What is the term for the phenomenon where objects appear to be closer than they actually are?

  1. Hyperopia

  2. Myopia

  3. Presbyopia

  4. Emmetropia


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Myopia is a refractive error that causes objects to appear closer than they actually are.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that contributes to the development of depth perception in infants?

  1. Binocular Vision

  2. Monocular Cues

  3. Experience

  4. Genetics


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Genetics does not directly contribute to the development of depth perception in infants. Binocular vision, monocular cues, and experience all play a role in the development of depth perception.

What is the term for the phenomenon where objects appear to be farther away than they actually are?

  1. Hyperopia

  2. Myopia

  3. Presbyopia

  4. Emmetropia


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hyperopia is a refractive error that causes objects to appear farther away than they actually are.

Which of the following is NOT a common cause of impaired depth perception?

  1. Strabismus

  2. Amblyopia

  3. Cataracts

  4. Astigmatism


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Astigmatism is a refractive error that affects the clarity of vision, but it does not directly affect depth perception. Strabismus, amblyopia, and cataracts can all impair depth perception.
