Inter-group variability: Differences observed between distinct groups such as sex, social background, or age. It reflects how characteristics vary across different demographic or social categories.
Inter-individual variability: Differences among individuals within the same group. It captures the diversity of traits, performances, or responses among members of a single group.
Intra-individual variability: Differences within the same individual across various contexts or moments. It indicates fluctuations in performance or states over time or situations.
Physiological variability: Variations in physiological traits among individuals, such as proportions of retinal cone types (L, M, S), which influence perception and sensory processing.
Subjective vertical estimation: The perception of verticality based on multiple sensory systems, including vision, proprioception, and vestibular systems. It involves combining these systems to perceive vertical orientation.
