A
The process by which infants learn to distinguish between different shapes and patterns
B
A monocular depth cue where objects that appear larger are perceived as being closer than smaller objects
C
The ability to recognize that objects remain the same size despite changes in distance or perspective
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that 'relative size' is a concept related to depth perception in developmental and AP Psychology.
Recognize that depth cues help individuals perceive the three-dimensional world from two-dimensional retinal images.
Identify that 'relative size' is a monocular depth cue, meaning it requires only one eye to perceive depth.
Know that this cue works because objects that appear larger on the retina are perceived as being closer, while smaller objects are seen as farther away.
Distinguish 'relative size' from other concepts such as shape recognition, size constancy, and binocular cues, which involve different processes or mechanisms.
