The myth of visual depth cues V: Motion parallax
View through CrossRef
Motion parallax is conventionally described as a “depth cue.” Rogers & Graham (1979) are credited with providing fairly convincing evidence for this view. Here, I argue that, just as in the case of the other so-called “depth cues,” the claim that “motion parallax” constitutes an independent factor supporting shape and depth perception is circular. Authors offering apparent demonstrations of this cue fail to properly distinguish between proximal and distal stimulus and overlook the fundamental confound of figural organization.
