By which of the following properties of near and distant objects does motion parallax enable a person to judge distance?
Correct answer: B. relative movement
- A. texture gradient
- B. relative movement
- C. relative closure
- D. None of these
Explanation
Motion parallax uses relative movement: nearby objects appear to move faster across the visual field than distant objects as the observer moves. Texture gradient is another monocular depth cue, but it is not the basis of motion parallax.
