The correct term is "a visual cliff," which is an experimental setup used to study depth perception and fear of heights in infants and young animals. It typically involves a glass-covered platform that creates the illusion of a drop-off to see if the infant can perceive depth and will be reluctant to cross the perceived "cliff."
