Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle of shape constancy allows us to perceive the cube as a three-dimensional object with right angles, even when it is depicted on a two-dimensional surface. This principle helps us maintain a stable perception of an object's shape, size, and orientation regardless of changes in distance or angle of view. Choice A (size constancy) refers to the ability to perceive objects as maintaining their size despite changes in distance, while choice B (visual acuity) refers to the sharpness of our vision. Choice C (the Müller-Lyer illusion) is a perceptual distortion that affects our perception of line length.
