Blank (i): "The human visual experience is defined by a (i) $\qquad$ "
- The sentence is discussing the intricate nature of human vision. We need a phrase that describes how vision works, implying multiple steps and sophisticated operations.
- A. sequence of basic processes: While there are basic processes, "sequence" might imply a strictly linear, simple flow, and "basic" might undersell the complexity.
- B. series of complex processing mechanisms: This perfectly captures the idea that vision involves many intricate, interconnected operations. Our brain doesn't just "see"; it processes.
- C. trio of simultaneous events: "Trio" is too specific and limiting, and "simultaneous events" doesn't fully convey the continuous and analytical nature of visual processing.

Therefore, B. series of complex processing mechanisms is the best fit for (i).

Blank (ii): "One important component of this visual experience is our ability to use visual information to create a (ii) $\qquad$ of three-dimensional space."
- This blank describes what our brain constructs from visual input to understand depth.
- D. representation: This means a depiction or model of something. Our brain creates a mental model or "representation" of the 3D world based on the 2D images hitting our retinas. This is a very common and accurate term in cognitive science for how the brain interprets sensory data.
- E. memory: While memories are involved in recognizing objects, the immediate act of perceiving 3D space from visual cues isn't primarily about memory itself, but about constructing a current model.
- F. replica: A replica is an exact copy. Our brain doesn't create an exact physical copy; it creates a neurological interpretation or model.

Therefore, D. representation is the best fit for (ii).

Blank (iii): "Binocular disparity refers to the discrepancy between the visual information of the two retinas, and stereopsis is responsible for our ability to (iii) $\qquad$ depth from this disparity."
- This blank describes the action stereopsis performs with the disparity information to understand depth.
- G. extricate: To free from a difficulty or entanglement; to remove. While you might "extract" information, "extricate" doesn't fit the context of perceiving depth.
- H. abrogate: To repeal or do away with (a law, right, or formal agreement). This is completely irrelevant to visual perception.
- I. discern: To perceive or recognize (something); to distinguish. This accurately describes the mental process of perceiving and understanding depth from the subtle differences in the images received by each eye.

Therefore, I. discern is the best fit for (iii).
