How big an object appears can affect how far away it appears
How far away an object appears can affect how big it appears
What happens when you perceive an object as closer than it actually is?
What are the 2 main oculomotor cues?
- Higher grades + faster learning

- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is binocular convergence?
The degree of convergence gives you an indication of how close an object is.
What are monocular cues?
What are the 3 main monocular cues?
What are the Pictorial Cues? (7 Main Pictorial Cues)
A - Atmospheric Perspective
T - Texture Gradient
P - Perspective Convergence
R - Relative Height
O - Occlusion
S - Shadows
How does this picture explain F in FATPROS?
- You know how tall/big a car roughly is
- Thus, by its size, you can estimate how far an object is
How does this picture explain A in FATPROS?
- There is fog in the photo – It is hard to see objects
- By estimating how hard it is to see an object, you can estimate how far an object is
How does this picture explain T in FATPROS?
- As the texture becomes more high frequency (smoother), the grass appears to be further away
How does this picture explain P in FATPROS?
- The road markers don’t appear to be parallel; They appear to be converging
- By estimating the degree of convergence, you can estimate how far an object is
How does this picture explain O in FATPROS?
- The car is occluded by the truck
- Objects that are occluded by another object are further away
How does this picture explain S in FATPROS?
- You can use the distance of the shadow from the object to give an estimation of how far the object is above the background
What are the Movement-Based Cues?
- Motion Parallax
- Deletion and accretion
What is Motion Parallax?
What is Deletion and Accretion? Use a train example
When the train is moving, some objects will occlude another object
When a object is hidden from another object, it is known as deletion
When that object re-appears again, it is known as accretion
By looking at deletions and accretions, we can understand the occlusion relationship and tell which objects are further away
Whichever object is fixated on has ________ absolute disparity
What is a horopter?
How is the correspondence problem solved?
What are the 2 factors that determines the perceived size of an object?
What is angular size? What is the relationship between distance and angular size?
What is size constancy?
- Size Constancy is the phenomenon where an object's apparent size does not depend on it’s physical distance
- When an object is far away, it appears to be the same size as when it is closer, even though its visual angle is much larger in the latter case
How does an observer achieve size constancy?
Formula of size constancy
What are size illusions caused by?
What did Holway and Boring investigate?
When is it easier to determine the distance of the object?
Explain Holway and Boring's experiment
- Observer sat at an intersection of two corridors and could view a test circle in one corridor and comparison circle in the other corridor.
- Their task was to adjust the size of the comparison circle to match the size of the test circle.
- The test circles were of different sizes but were presented at different distances so that their angular size was always the same.
What did the observers in Holway and Boring's experiment use to determine the depth of the test patch? (4 separate groups of participants)
In condition 1 - binocular disparity, motion parallax and shadows
In condition 2 - observers viewed the test circle with 1 eye to remove binocular disparity cues (leaving only motion parallax and shadows)
In condition 3 - observers viewed the test circle through a peephole with 1 eye to remove motion parallax cues (leaving only shadows)
In condition 4 - Nothing; observers viewed the test circle through a peephole with 1 eye + drapes were used to remove the shadows
When can objects be accurately estimated?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
