Q

How does the size of the retinal image correlate with object size and distance?

A

Size of retinal image of an object is proportional to the object’s size, but inversely proportional to the distance to the object

Q

What is size constancy?

A

Our interpretation of the size of objects is relatively constant, despite large differences in the size of the objects on the retina

Q

What are the neuronal mechanisms underpinning binocular rivalry?

A

Not completely understood. Occurs through multiple stages of visual pathways. Evidence for early stage encoding of monocular info (LGN/V1) and for residual encoding of the suppressed visual signal.

Q

What is Kinetic Depth effect?

A

Person is stationary but the object is moving (e.g. rotating). The retinal velocities depend on the distance of each feature from the observer
