Perceptual constancy is the phenomenon by which we perceive objects as having a constant size, shape, and color, even though the retinal image of the object may vary as we move and the lighting conditions change. The changing shapes on our retinas as we move are compensated for by the brain so that we perceive objects as having constant shapes. Relative motion (B) refers to the apparent motion of objects as we move, which is not related to the shapes cast on our retinas. Linear perspective (C) is a depth cue that provides information about the relative distance of objects, and continuity (D) refers to the tendency to perceive a continuous pattern in a stimulus rather than separate parts.
