Berkeley's Theory of Vision

Berkeley's Theory of Vision suggests that what we see is not just a direct reflection of the world around us, but involves learned associations between visual cues and depth. He argued that our perception of distance and three-dimensionality comes from experience rather than simply from the eyes. For instance, we recognize that an object appears smaller the farther away it is, based on past observations. Thus, our understanding of depth is shaped by how we have learned to interpret visual information over time, rather than being an innate ability.
