Are absolute and relative depth systems independent? It is an unresolved question: are relative disparities independently acquired or are they 1 computed as a difference of absolute disparities ? Some believe that the two systems are independent because relative depth performance is better than absolute depth performance. However several concerns need to be addressed. Concern 1: The absolute depth condition always presents a visible reference (fixation or screen border), creating relative disparities.2

Stereoblindness and absence of fine stereopsis are more likely for absolute depths than for relative depths. 86% of the control participants lack fine stereopsis for absolute depths. Absolute depth training did not yield benefits after 5 sessions. Completely stereoblind 0.8

Concern 2: Absolute depth performance is typically measured with 2IFC and relative depth with 2AFC giving the advantage to relative depths (because of memory decay).3

Solution: Participants were naive: either students or professional dressmakers, who may particularly benefit from a good stereopsis in their activity.

Solution: We used a single stimulus method, introducing the same memory burden in the two conditions. Relative Depth Absolute Depth

Result: Dressmakers are more precise than the control group (p
