Question	Answer
depth cues	the visual 'clues' that we use to understand depth or distance
monocular depth cues	information about distance that comes from one eye, such as superimposition, relative size, texture gradients, linear perspective and height in plane
binocular depth cues	information about distance that needs two eyes such as stereopsis
size constancy	we perceive an object as he same size even when its distance from us changes
relative size	smaller objects are perceived as further away than larger ones
texture gradient	an area with a detailed pattern perceived to be nearer than the one with less detail
height in plane	objects closer to the horizon are perceived to be more distant that ones above the horizon
superimposition	a partly hidden object must be further away than the object covering it
stereopsis	a binocular depth cue. the greater the difference between the view seen by the left and right eye, the closer the viewer is looking
