Document Summary

Accretion-deletion of texture when moving through the environment, closer surfaces are perceived to block more distant ones. Amodal perception that is not ties to a particular modality. Amplitude the intensity of sound waves, indicating how loud a sound is (volume) Attentional inertia the decrease in likelihood of disengagement as the duration of a look increases. Auditory localization the utilization of sound arriving at two different times to each ear to locate its origin. Auditory threshold how loud a sound has to be for a person to hear it. Binocular convergence the convergence angel of the two eyes, and the disparity between the two images they yield, provides information about depth. Binocular cues depth cue based on the fact that our two eyes receive slightly different images of the visual world. The convergence angle of the two eyes, and the disparity between the two images they yield, provide some information about depth.
