The ability of Baby Grace to recognize a picture of a ball based on her previous experience of seeing and hearing the bouncing ball shows her intermodal perception, which is the ability to integrate information from different sensory modalities to form a coherent perception of the world.

Size and shape constancy refer to the ability to perceive objects as having a constant size and shape despite changes in their distance or orientation, which is not demonstrated in this scenario. Object perception is a general term that refers to the processes involved in recognizing and perceiving objects, but it doesn't capture the idea of integrating information from multiple sensory modalities, as intermodal perception does.
