Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Size constancy is the process by which we perceive an object as being the same size even when the size of its retinal image changes due to variations in distance or angle. Retinal disparity refers to the differences in the visual images that each eye perceives, object permanence refers to the awareness that an object still exists even when it is out of sight, and shape constancy refers to the perception of an object's shape as being the same despite changes in its orientation.
