- AInterposition
- BRelative height
- CTexture gradient
- DLinear perspective

- BClarity or aerial perspective

65Which monocular cue states that once we have learned the sizes of objects, such as people or buildings or trees, we assume that they stay the same size, so objects that look smaller than usual must be farther away than usual.
- ALight and shadow
- BFamiliar size
- CRelative size
- DMotion parallax
66Which monocular cue states that when we look at two objects we know are about the same size and one seems smaller than the other, we see the smaller object as being farther away.

67Perceptual [blank_start]Constancy[blank_end] is our tendency to see objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal images change, such as seeing an object as the same [blank_start]shape[blank_end] no matter what angle it is viewed from, or seeing objects as the same [blank_start]size[blank_end] regardless of the distance from which it is viewed.
