1. Size Constancy:
Size constancy is the tendency to perceive objects in a
consistent manner despite the changing sensations that are
received by our senses. visual constancy plays an important
role in helping us adapt to our environment successfully.
Learning plays an important role in the development of
constancy. Once we know that certain objects in our
environment have certain characteristics ,we tend to perceive
them in the same way, regardless of the conditions under
which they are perceived.
When we know that an object is of a certain size, we tend
to perceive it as being that same size, regardless of how far it
is from our eyes.
In Size constancy ,the perceiver has the ability to judge
true or measured size, regardless of the distance involved.
2.Shape Constancy; When we know that
the object is a certain shape ,we tend to
perceive it as the same shape, regardless
of the viewing angle. We have learned to
make corrections in our perception
dependent on the angle from which we
observe.
3.Color Constancy; Colors of objects tend
to remain constant in perception when we
know their true color. Visual objects also
appear constant in their degree of
whiteness, grayness and blackness.
The ability to view the world in three
dimensions and to perceive distance is
known as depth perception.
