Based on the Evidence Obtained in Numerous Cross-Cultural Investigations of Depth

question 146

Multiple Choice

Based on the evidence obtained in numerous cross-cultural investigations of depth perception, it seems reasonable to conclude that

• A) depth perception, whether in pictures or real space, is innate and invariant across cultures.
• B) the basic processes in depth perception, whether in pictures or real space, are learned and are quite variable across cultures.
• C) perception of depth using monocular cues is innate, but perception of depth using binocular cues must be learned.
• D) the application of pictorial depth cues to pictures is partly an acquired skill, but the basic processes of depth perception in real space appear to be similar across cultures.
