motion parallax
a monocular depth cue; when we move, objects in our vision that appear to move faster than others are perceived as further away
stroboscopic movement
an illusion of movement created when still images are displayed in rapid succession as in motion pictures
phi phenomenon
an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession
autokinetic effect
an illusion of movement created when the eye tries to fixate on a stationary point of light in a dark room, caused by very slight movements of the eye
perceptual constancy
perceiving objects as unchanging even as the physical energy reaching our eyes is changing
color constancy
perceiving familiar objects as having a consistent hue, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths of light waves reflected by the object
brightness constancy
perceiving objects as having a consistent lightness, even if changing illumination alters the amplitude of light waves reflected by the object
shape constancy
perceiving objects as having unchanging form, even when the image they cast on our retinas morphs due to angle of view
size constancy
perceiving objects as having unchanging dimensions, even when the image they cast on our retinas grows or shrinks due to distance
critical period
a specific time in development when certain skills or abilities are most easily learned
perceptual adaptation
the ability to adjust to an artificially displaced or even inverted visual field
