| 223697028 | Visual Capture | The tendency for vision to dominate the other senses. | |
| 223697029 | Gestalt | An organized whole. Gestalt psychologists emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes. | |
| 223697030 | Figure-Ground | The organization of the visual field into objects that stand out from their surroundings. | |
| 223697031 | Grouping | The perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups. | |
| 223697032 | Depth Perception | The ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are not. Allows us to judge distance. | |
| 223697033 | Visual Cliff | A laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals. | |
| 223697034 | Binocular Cues | Depth cues, such as retinal disparity and convergence, that depend on the use of two eyes. | |
| 223697035 | Retinal Disparity | A binocular cue for perceiving depth: By comparing images from the two eyeballs, the brain computes distance - the greater the disparity (difference) between the two images, the closer the object. | |
| 223697036 | Convergence | A binocular cue for perceiving depth; the extent to which the eyes converge inward when looking at an object. The greater the inward strain, the closer the object. | |
| 223697037 | Monocular Cues | Depth cues, such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone. | |
| 223697038 | Phi Phenomenon | An illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession. | |
| 223697039 | Perceptual Constancy | Perceiving objects as unchanging (having consistent lightness, color, shape, and size) even as illumination and retinal images change. |
