64. Consider the figure within parentheses: (XX XX XX). That we perceive three pairs of Xs reflects the Gestalt principle(s) of: a. similarity b. continuity c. figure/ground d. proximity

d; Moderate

70. You know that a passing bus is nearer than a parked car because the bus momentarily blocks your view of the car. This example illustrates the depth cue of ________. a. position b. linear perspective c. aerial perspective d. interposition

d; Moderate

73. You are standing on the beach; the sea is choppy. You observe that the crests of distant waves appear not only smaller, but also higher in your field of vision than do the crests of waves nearer to the beach. Which two monocular depth cues does this example illustrate? a. linear perspective and position b. relative size and linear perspective c. position and aerial perspective d. relative size and position

d; Moderate

75. Which depth cue is correctly matched with a description? a. interposition - smaller objects are seen as more distant b. aerial perspective - parallel lines appear to converge with increasing distance c. relative size - when one object overlaps a second, we perceive the second as more distant d. position - objects higher in the field of vision are perceived as more distant

d; Moderate

92. Interposition and linear perspective are two _________ cues to depth.

monocular; Moderate

71. The Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains may owe their names to the fact that the distant peaks look bluish-gray and hazy, reflecting a ________ depth cue termed ________. a. monocular; aerial perspective b. binocular; aerial perspective c. monocular; linear perspective d. binocular; linear perspective
