- Perception
- Monocular
- Height in plane
- Objects that are higher up in the visual field appear further away
- Relative size
- When objects appear smaller than known of objects of their similar size
- Occlusion
- This is when objects that are behind or obscured look further away
- Linear perspective
- This means that the lines that are parallel appear to get closer and come to a point in the distance
- A way of detecting depth or distance, which works with just one eye
- Height in plane
- Binocular
- Retinal disparity
- This is to do with the way that the left and right eye view things slightly differently. The size difference gives the brain information about depth and distance
- Convergence
- This is to do with how hard the eye muscles have to work to view objects. The closer it is the harder the muscles have to work to give the brain information about depth and distance
- A way of detecting depth or distance, which requires two eyes in order to work. Allows us to be more accurate
- Retinal disparity
- Perception Definition:

- Sensation definition:
- The information we receive through our senses
- Sensation is our body's way of detecting a stimulus in the environment whereas perception is how our brain organises and interprets these sensations

- Visual illusions
- Happens when our visual perception is tricked into seeing something inaccurately. We misinterpret what is actually there in reality
- Size constancy
- This means that we keep our original perception of the size of an object even when the information received by the eye changes
- Misinterpreted depth cues
- A depth cue is used inappropriately
- Ponzo ilusion
- Muller-lyer illusion
