Psychology QUESTION #9722
Question 1
Which depth perception cue requires both eyes and relies on the slight difference between the images each eye receives due to their different positions?
  • Monocular cue
  • Retinal disparity✔️
  • Motion parallax
  • Linear perspective
Correct Answer Explanation
Retinal disparity (also called binocular disparity) is a binocular cue to depth. Because the two eyes are separated horizontally, each eye receives a slightly different image of the same scene. The brain uses this difference to calculate depth and distance. Objects closer to the viewer create greater retinal disparity than distant objects.
