stuff regarding sight Flashcards
retinal despairty
when someone complains about physical symptoms for which there is no physiological basis
linear perspective
viewing the convergence of parallel lines as an indicator of distance, is a monocular cue.
texture gradient
judging an object with visible texture as being closer than one without visible texture, is a monocular cue.
interposition
judging one object to be farther away if blocked by another, is a monocular cue.
relative size
judging smaller objects to be farther away, is a monocular cue.
relative motion
Objects closer to you appear to move faster than objects further away
The further away something is, the slower it appears to move
relative height
Objects that are closer appear to be lower in our field of vision
light and shadow
Objects that are nearby reflect more light to our eyes, so objects that are dimmer seem farther away, while objects that are closer appear more bright
convergence
When looking at an object that’s close up, your eyes angle inward toward each other (slightly cross eyed)
