When an object gets closer to you, the image of that object projected onto your left and right retinas moves farther apart. Conversely, as an object moves farther away, the image on your retinas gets closer together. The ability to determine distance based on this change in retinal projection is called retinal ____.
A) occularity
B) disparity
C) parallax
D) kinesthesis

A) ​occularity
B) ​disparity
C) ​parallax
D) ​kinesthesis

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ability to determine distance based on the change in retinal projection is called retinal disparity. Therefore, choice B, "disparity," is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are not related to the concept described in the question.
