39522357	Binocular Cues	depth cues, such as retinal disparity and convergence, that depend on the use of two eyes
39522358	Monocular Cues	distance cues, such as linear perspective and overlap available to either eye alone
39522359	Retinal Disparity	a binocular cue for perceiving depth: By comparing images from the two eye balls, the brain computes distance- the greater the disparity (difference) between the two images, the closer the object
39522360	Convergence	the binocular cue for perceiving depth; the extent to which the eyes converge inward when looking at an object
39522361	Phi Phenomenon	an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink off and on in succession
