- The study of paranormal phenomenon, including ESP and psychokinesis.
______________________
- Depth cues, such as retinal disparity and convergence, that depend on the

- The focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus, as in the

- A laboratory device for testing dept perception in infants and young
animals. ______________________ _____________________

(This is one of the Gestalt principles of grouping). ____________________
- A binocular cue for perceiving depth; the extent to which the eyes turn

- A binocular cue for perceiving depth: The greater the difference between
the two images the retina receives of an object, the closer the object is to
the viewer. ___________________________ ________________________
- The ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that
strike the retina are two-dimensional. It allows us to perceive depth.
_______________ ______________________
