answers will vary:
binocular depth cues (retinal disparity, convergence)
linear perspective, relative height, relative size, interposition, texture gradient

hippocampus
What psychological concept did the line study by Asch (1951) demonstrate?
Conformity
The phenomenon where people tend to see themselves in a more positive light than others see them is known as
self-serving bias
What must a 'distinguish' answer include?

3 parts of brain involved in voluntary motor movement
basal ganglia (planning), cerebellum (regulation & smoothing), primary motor cortex (execution)

Differences: CC is a reflex response to a stimulus, OC is a voluntary response to a reward or punishment
