Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceptual constancy allows us to perceive objects as consistent and unchanging even as their image on the retina changes due to variations in illumination, orientation or distance. This helps us to recognize and understand objects despite varying environmental conditions. Interposition refers to objects partially blocking other objects, blindsight refers to the ability to respond to visual stimuli without conscious awareness, and parallel processing refers to the ability of the brain to simultaneously process multiple aspects of a stimulus.
