Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alina's ability to recognize that both teddy bears are the same despite appearing differently in size is an example of size constancy. This is the ability to understand that objects remain the same size regardless of the distance they are from us. Alina is not being tested on her shape constancy, as the bears are the same shape, nor her eyesight, which is not in question in this scenario. Her love of teddy bears is also not relevant to the question.
