"Subjective constancy or perceptual constancy is the perception of an object or quality as constant even though our sensation of the object changes."
Perceptual constancy is the ability of our senses to perceive objects as relatively stable and unchanged despite variations in their sensory input.
Introduction to Sensation and Perception: An overview of the fundamental concepts of sensation and perception, including the relationship between stimuli and sensory experience.
Perceptual constancy: A description of the concept of perceptual constancy, which refers to the ability of the brain to maintain consistent perceptions of objects or events in the face of changes to sensory inputs.
Size constancy: An explanation of the ability of the brain to perceive the size of an object as constant, even when the distance of the object varies relative to the viewer.
Shape constancy: An overview of the ability of the brain to perceive the shape of an object as constant, even when the orientation or position of the object changes.
Color constancy: A description of the ability of the brain to perceive the color of an object as constant, even when the lighting conditions change.
Depth perception: An explanation of the ability of the brain to perceive the depth of an object or scene, including monocular and binocular cues for depth perception.
Perceptual grouping: A description of the processes by which the brain groups sensory inputs into coherent perceptions, including gestalt principles of perception.
Object recognition: An overview of the processes by which the brain recognizes objects and assigns meaning to them, including feature detection, template matching, and the role of context in object recognition.
Attention and perception: An explanation of the ways in which attention can affect sensory processing and perception, including the role of top-down and bottom-up processing in attentional control.
Neural mechanisms of perceptual constancy: An overview of the neural mechanisms underlying perceptual constancy, including the role of sensory adaptation, top-down processing, and neural plasticity in maintaining consistent perceptions.
Size constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive the size of an object as constant despite changes in the size of the retinal image.
Color constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive the color of an object as constant despite changes in the lighting conditions.
Shape constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive the shape of an object as constant despite changes in the angle of viewing or position.
Brightness constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive the brightness of an object as constant despite changes in the lighting conditions.
Location constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive the location of an object as constant despite changes in the position of the observer.
Texture constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive the texture of an object as constant despite changes in the viewing distance or angle.
Motion constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive the motion of an object as constant despite changes in the viewing angle or distance.
Orientation constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive the orientation of an object as constant despite changes in the angle of viewing.
Auditory constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive sounds as coming from a consistent direction or location despite changes in the sound source’s distance or position.
Time constancy: Refers to the ability to perceive the duration or timing of an event as constant, despite changes in external stimuli.
