1. depth cues that require both eyes are called:

a) monocular cues

1. which of the following is an example of color constancy?

a) a red shirt looks red in sunlight and in shade
b) a door looks rectangular even when open
c) a car looks smaller as it drives away
d) a triangle appears whole even when part is missing

1. a stop sign appears the same shape whether viewed straight on or at an angle. this is:

a) color constancy

Explanation:

1. Gestalt psychology emphasizes looking at behavior as a whole picture, a core - concept of Gestalt theory.
2. The principle of closure makes us perceive incomplete figures as complete, like seeing a complete circle with part missing.
3. Proximity is the tendency to group objects that are close together, so seeing students sitting together as one section is an example of proximity.
4. Recognizing players on the same team by their uniforms is due to similarity as similar - looking objects (uniforms) are grouped together.
5. In the "faces or vase" illusion, the vase can be the figure depending on perception.
6. Monocular cues are depth cues that only require one eye.
7. Binocular cues are depth cues that require both eyes.
8. Color constancy is when an object appears the same color under different lighting conditions, like a red shirt looking red in sunlight and shade.
9. Shape constancy is when an object appears the same shape from different viewing angles, like a stop - sign.

Answer:

1. b) A whole picture
2. b) Closure
3. a) Proximity
4. c) Similarity
5. c) Figure
6. c) Monocular cues
7. b) Binocular cues
8. a) A red shirt looks red in sunlight and in shade
9. None of the options exactly match (it's shape constancy), but if we assume the closest is not listed, the question may be mis - formatted or options are incomplete.
