D on the horizontal axis and texture-specified slant, S T, on the vertical axis, assumed to be conditionally independent.
Points on the cues-consistent (diagonal) line represent stimuli with the same disparity- and texture-specified slants,
whereas points off this line represent stimuli with conflicting slants. Cue-conflict size increases as points get farther from
the cues-consistent line. Profiles of the likelihood functions are shown for disparity (above, pink, smaller variance) and
texture (left, green, larger variance). Their joint likelihood functions are depicted by gray clouds for which probability
