Shape constancy allows us to perceive objects as having consistent shapes regardless of changes in their visual appearance such as viewing angle or lighting conditions. The phi phenomenon is the perception of motion between two stationary objects, interposition refers to an object appearing to be in front of another due to their relative positions, and retinal disparity is the slight difference in the location of an object seen by the left and right eyes, which helps to create depth perception. None of these concepts directly relate to the perception of consistent shape.
