Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceptual constancy is the tendency to perceive objects as stable and unchanging despite changes in sensory information, such as changes in lighting, distance, or angle. This allows us to recognize objects even when they are seen from different angles or in different lighting conditions. Closure refers to the tendency to complete incomplete figures or patterns, reversibility refers to the ability to mentally reverse actions or thoughts, and coherency refers to the quality of being logical and consistent. None of these concepts specifically relate to the stable perception of objects despite changing sensory information.
