c. Depth Perception -The visual cliff apparatus comprises of a sheet of Plexiglas covering a cloth with a checkerboard pattern. On one side the cloth
is placed immediately beneath the Plexiglas, and on the other, there is a
drop of about 4 feet below. The Plexiglas supports the weight of
the child. So this is a 'visual cliff' rather than a real fall.
Using this apparatus, psychologists examine depth perceptions among babies.
