Question

When we view cars parked on a distant parking lot we know that the cars are not actually the size of toy cars because of a perceptualA)  illusion.B)  disparity.C)  constancy.D)  theory.

Herma Pamplona · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The answer is constancy because this refers to our ability to perceive objects as maintaining their size, shape, color, and other properties despite changes in the retinal image. In this case, even though the cars appear smaller at a distance, we still perceive them as maintaining their true size due to size constancy. Option A (illusion) refers to a false or distorted perception, Option B (disparity) refers to the slight difference in the images of an object that are received by each eye and processed by the brain to give depth perception, and Option D (theory) is too vague to be the correct answer in this case.
