Perceptual Constancies


PERCEPTUAL CONSTANCIES

Lets us "look" past most unimportant changes of the constant unchanging aspects of most objects of events, making our perceptions stable. It's critical to everyday life, without it we would not be able to recognize someone or something in different levels of lighting, color, size, shape or subtle changes. Thanks to this it makes life more simple to do everyday tasks.

SIZE CONSTANCY

Allows us to judge an object's apparent size from any distance. When the distance of an object increases the size of your retinal image changes too. We know that if a car is far away it looks small but it still maintains its same shape as it is if we were close to it. This varies with distance. Objects maintain same size regardless of how smaller or different it looks from far away it appears to us. 
Notice how objects that are smaller is far away and seems small
we get that it's just as same as people in front of painting

SHAPE CONSTANCY

Shape of objects seem unchanged even though they're viewed from different angles.. An object's shape changes in different angles, this is the stability of a shape despite changes in image shape. They are important because they allow us to perceive simple unchanging nature of objects and things in life we see around us. Without this, objects would appear to be changing depending on light, distances and different angles and viewpoints. But since we do have it, it makes the world we see more secure stable and we can predict it and lets us do everyday things we have to do without struggle and confusion.
street looks like there's a river, at angle flat we
know it's just a art drawing on the street.

BRIGHTNESS CONSTANCY

Important in stabilizing perception. Visual objects perceived as having the same brightness under different levels of illumination. 
Different times throughout the day affect lighting of everyday objects, still understand objects remain
