Figure-Ground Relationship: The organiztion of the visual fields into objects (figures) that stand out from their surroundings (ground)

Grouping: The perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into groups that we understand

Depth Perception: The ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are ywo dimensional

Binocular Cues: Retinal Disparity: a binocular cue for seeing depth
-The closer an object comes to you the greater the disparity is between the two images
