Our perception of objects tends to remain constant despite changes in sensory input like perspective, lighting, size, or distance. This constancy effect allows us to recognize objects as the same even when our visual perception of them changes. Constancy indicates that perception involves both receiving sensory data and reconciling it with our memories and knowledge of objects. Examples of constancy include perceiving an object's size, brightness, shape, loudness, and other properties as unchanged in different conditions.

Constancy in design
- 1. CONSTANCY
- 2. CONSTANCY (n.) ■ The human tendency to perceive objects as unchanging, despite changes in sensory input. ■ People tend to perceive objects as constant and unchanging, despite changes in perspective, lighting, color, or size. The ability to perceive objects as having constant properties despite variations in how they are perceived eliminates the need to reinterpret those objects when they are perceived under different conditions. This indicates that perception involves more than simply receiving sensory inputs; rather, it is a process of continuously reconciling sensory inputs with memories about the properties of things in the world. ■ Example: A person viewed at a distance produces a smaller image on the retina than that same person up close, but the perception of the size of the person is constant.
- 4. SIZE CONSTANCY ■ The size of objects is to be perceived to be constant, even though a change in distance makes the objects appear smaller or larger.
- 5. BRIGHTNESS CONSTANCY ■ The brightness of objects is perceived to be constant, even though changes in illumination make the objects appear brighter or lighter
- 6. SHAPE CONSTANCY ■ The shape of objects is perceived to be constant, even though changes in perspective make the objects appear to have different shapes.
- 7. LOUDNESS CONSTANCY ■ The loudness of a sound is perceived to be constant, even though a change in distance makes the sound seem softer or louder.
