Assignment:

One recurring theme addressed this week was that several basic sensory-perceptual phenomena may be explained by more than one empirically supported theory (e.g., trichromatic and opponent-process theory; motion detection due to apparent or real motion), suggesting the role of multiple and overlapping processes.

From an evolutionary perspective, is there any potential advantage to having multiple processes (e.g., depth perception via binocular vs. monocular cues) involved in sensation and perception? Are there any potential drawbacks or problems that might result from this state of affairs (e.g., consider phenomena such as visual illusions or vertigo)? In responding to this question, it may also be worthwhile to consider how these systems have developed in humans as compared to animals.
