our ability and need to perceive objects as unchanging even as changes may occur in distance, point of view, and illumination

• Perceptual Constancy

• Color Constancy

• Size Constancy

• Shape Constancy

• Lightness Constancy

- Perception that the color of an object remains the same even if lighting conditions change

• Perceptual Constancy

• Color Constancy

• Size Constancy

• Shape Constancy

• Lightness Constancy

Tendency for the brain to perceive objects as the same apparent size regardless of their distance from us

• Perceptual Constancy

• Color Constancy

• Size Constancy

• Shape Constancy

• Lightness Constancy

- Our viewing angle changes or an object rotates and we still perceive the object as staying the same shape

• Perceptual Constancy

• Color Constancy

• Size Constancy

• Shape Constancy

• Lightness Constancy

Occurs when our perception of the whiteness, blackness, or grayness of objects remains constant no matter how much the illumination has changed

• Size Constancy

depth cues, such as retinal disparity, that depend on the use of two eyes

• Binocular Cues

• Retinal Disparity

• Convergence

• Monocular Cues

- a binocular cue for perceiving depth: by comparing images from the retinas in the two eyes, the brain computes distance - the greater the disparity between the two images, the closer the object

• Binocular Cues

• Retinal Disparity

• Convergence

• Monocular Cues

When two eyes move inward (towards the nose) to see near objects and outward (away from the nose) to see faraway objects.

• Binocular Cues

• Retinal Disparity

• Convergence

• Monocular Cues

depth cues, such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone

• Binocular Cues

• Retinal Disparity

• Convergence

• Monocular Cues

Objects closer to a fixation point move faster and in the opposing direction to those objects that are farther away from a fixation point, moving slower and in the same direction

• Relative Sizes

• Relative Clarity

• Relative Height

• Relative Motion
