Discussion
Identify the phenomenon that allows us to recognise familiar stimuli under varying conditions.
Answer: A
Perceptual constancies allow us to recognise familiar stimuli, such as the shape, size and brightness of an object, under varying conditions of distance, angle and lighting. Perceptual set is a readiness to perceive in a certain way, perceptual schema is an organised mental framework, and Gestalt principles describe how parts are grouped. Size constancy, shape constancy and brightness constancy are examples: a distant person looks smaller on the retina but we still see the person as of normal size.
