Abstract

20 monocularized chicks were tested on visual pitfalls. They avoided visual pitfalls as successfully as binocular ones except that the former exhibited more remarkable peeping into visual pitfalls accompanied by large head movements than the latter. These findings appeared to suggest that the detection of motion parallax was made easier by means of taking an unclosed eye excessively for the compensation of monocularization. Additionally, some findings of monocular depth discrimination in the human was discussed in connection with those of animals. It was concluded that the monocular vision is as efficient as the binocular one concerning the depth discrimination.
