  2. Visual cliff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cliff

    During early development, infants begin to crawl, sit, and walk. These actions impact how the infants view depth perception. Thus, infant studies are an important part of the visual cliff. When an infant starts to engage in crawling, to sit, or walking, they use perception and action. During this time, infants begin to develop a fear of height.

  3. Underwater vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_vision

    Both relative and absolute depth perception are reduced underwater. Loss of contrast results in overestimation, and magnification effects account for underestimation at short range. [ 1 ] Divers can to a large extent adapt to these effects over time and with practice.

  4. Infant visual development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_visual_development

    The aspects of human vision which develop following birth include visual acuity, tracking, color perception, depth perception, and object recognition. Unlike many other sensory systems, the human visual system – components from the eye to neural circuits – develops largely after birth, especially in the first few years of life. At birth ...

  5. Strabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus

    If present during a large part of childhood, it may result in amblyopia, or lazy eyes, and loss of depth perception. [3] If onset is during adulthood, it is more likely to result in double vision. [3] Strabismus can occur due to muscle dysfunction (e.g., myasthenia gravis [4] [5]), farsightedness, problems in the brain, trauma, or infections. [3]

  6. Derealization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derealization

    Derealization is an alteration in the perception of the external world, causing those with the condition to perceive it as unreal, distant, distorted or in other words falsified. Other symptoms include feeling as if one's environment is lacking in spontaneity, emotional coloring, and depth. [1]

  7. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Depth sensation is the corresponding term for non-human animals, since although it is known that they can sense the distance of an object, it is not known whether they perceive it in the same way that humans do. [1] Depth perception arises from a variety of depth cues. These are typically classified into binocular cues and monocular cues ...

  8. Human physiology of underwater diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_physiology_of...

    Both relative and absolute depth perception are reduced underwater. Loss of contrast results in overestimation, and magnification effects account for underestimation at short range. [98] Divers can to a large extent adapt to these effects by learning to compensate for these distortions. [98]

  9. Visual adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_adaptation

    Visual adaptation is the temporary change in sensitivity or perception when exposed to a new or intense stimulus, and the lingering afterimage that may result when the stimulus is removed. These continuous small adjustments reflect the neural coding process of the visual system , and exist so the brain can attempt to "normalize" the visual ...
