Study Notes

Perceptual Constancy

Refers to the ability to perceive objects as stable and unchanging despite variations in sensory input.
Includes consistent perception of lightness, color, shape, and size across different lighting and viewing conditions.

Shape Consistency

The brain maintains the perception of an object's shape regardless of the viewing angle.
This allows recognition of familiar shapes even when they appear distorted.

Size Consistency

Objects are perceived to maintain the same size despite changes in distance from the observer.
Our perception compensates for changes in retinal image size caused by distance.

Brightness Consistency

The perceived brightness of an object remains constant despite variations in lighting conditions.
This phenomenon helps recognize objects under different lighting environments, maintaining a sense of stability.
