Two types of monocular depth cues are __________ and __________.

Answer
A
motion parallax . . . pictorial depth cues
B
convergence . . . retinal disparity
C
motion parallax . . . retinal disparity
D
convergence . . . pictorial depth cues

Explanation

Monocular depth cues let you judge distance using information from one eye. Motion parallax, the apparent movement of nearby objects faster than distant ones as you move, is one monocular cue; pictorial depth cues, such as perspective and overlap, are another. Convergence and retinal disparity rely on information from both eyes, so they are binocular cues.
