2. Sensory adaptation
To detect novelty in our surroundings our senses tune out a constant stimulus
The ticking of a clock is more difficult to sense after a while as you adjust to stimuli.

The ability to perceive objects as having a constant shape, despite receiving different sensory images.

10. Size Constancy
We use distance-related context clues to help us see objects as the same size.
EX:
The Ames Room was designed to manipulate distance cues to make two same-sized girls appear very different in size.
