Question

Deedy Horan · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Perceptual constancy refers to the ability to perceive objects as having a consistent size, shape, and color despite changes in sensory input. Kyle's misinterpretation of the toy houses and cars as being actual size indicates that he has not fully developed this ability. The other options (binocular depth cues, linear perspective, and visual accommodation) refer to other aspects of perception that may contribute to a person's ability to accurately perceive the size and distance of objects, but they are not relevant to Kyle's specific misinterpretation in this scenario.
