Fovea-area contains cones. Cones-receptors for colors. ColorAfterImages-stare at a dot. Trichromatic theory-RGB Opponent process theory-RGYBBKW Dark adaption-increase sensitivity to light. Binocular depth cue-persons eyes are located in different. Linear perspective-parallel lines. Retinal disparity-2 different images in the eye angle. Aerial perspective-depth or distance. Motion parallax-depth cue motion closer gets farther. Topdown perceptual process-higher level. Mullerlyer illusion-V. Sizedistance invariances-distance+size. Precognition-knowing something cuz its in ur genes. Perceptual habituation-negative ^. Dominant gene-always present influences. Recessive gene-gene with another r gene. Grasping reflex-child clings.
