On the role for binocular cues in the fast extraction of egocentric distance

The Roles for Prior Visual Experience and Age on the Extraction of Egocentric Distance

“…On the other hand, Gajewski et al (2010) have also demonstrated that performance improves when viewing time is extended (3-5 s). Because a similar time course of improvement has been shown for monocular versus binocular viewing (Cohen, Gajewski, Dameshghi, & Philbeck, 2011), this extended-viewing benefit cannot be explained just by binocular cues coming online. Instead, this benefit appears to be linked to the increasing effectiveness of information about the environment surrounding the target at these longer viewing durations.…”
