Perceptual constancy is the ability to perceive objects as maintaining stable properties, such as size, shape, and color, even when they are viewed from different angles or distances, or under different lighting conditions. Sensory stimulation (e.g. the image projected on the retina) changes when an object is viewed from different perspectives or in different lighting conditions. However, perceptual constancy allows us to perceive the object as remaining the same despite the changes in the sensory input.
