Name and explain the 4 types of perceptual constancy.
Name and explain the 4 types of perceptual constancy.
Size constancy - the tendency to view an object as constant in size despite changes in the size of the retinal image. Shape constancy - the tendency to see an object as keeping its form despite changes in orientation. Color constancy: perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color even with altered wavelengths. Lightness Constancy: object has constant lightness/brightness even when illumination varies.
