The obstetrician's ability to interpret the sonogram image to determine the baby's gender demonstrates her well-developed perceptual ability. Perceptual ability refers to the ability to organize and interpret sensory information from the environment. In this scenario, the obstetrician is able to use her perceptual ability to identify the baby's legs and penis, while the mother may not be able to do so to the same extent.
