Size constancy is the ability to perceive an object as maintaining its size despite changes in its distance from the observer. In Adelbert Ames' distorted room, the angles of the walls and floor are manipulated in a way that makes it appear as though the room is a normal rectangular shape, but in reality, one end is much farther away than the other end. This creates an illusion where objects appear to change size as they move across the room. Therefore, observers would have difficulty maintaining a sense of size constancy while watching the stranger move across the room. The other options (shape constancy, brightness constancy, and color constancy) are not as relevant to the distortion of Adelbert Ames' room.
