Interposition
Linear perspective
Retinal disparity
Closure

In the Ponzo illusion, although the size of the retinal image is the same for both bars, the depth perception cue of _____ leads us to misperceive the top bar as farther away. Therefore, we conclude the top bar is _____.

linear perspective; larger
linear perspective; smaller
retinal disparity; smaller
retinal disparity; larger

When the moon is on the horizon, the size of the moon's retinal image is _____ when the moon is overhead. Distance cues lead us to believe that the horizon moon is _____.

the same as; closer
larger than; farther away
larger than; closer
the same as; farther away

We experience the moon illusion because _____.

the brain misapplies information about distance when the moon is surrounded by objects on the horizon
when the moon is closer to the horizon, it is brighter and thus the brain perceives it as closer
the brain uses valid information but an invalid principle to calculate the size of the moon
the brain misapplies information about retinal image size when the moon is surrounded by objects on the horizon
