Perceptual constancy is the ability to perceive objects as having a constant size, shape, and color even though the image they cast onto the retina of the eye changes. When we see cars parked at a distance, we know that they are not actually the size of toy cars because we have an understanding of their actual size, which is maintained by perceptual constancy. This allows us to correctly perceive the size of objects despite changes in viewing distance or angle.
