Shape constancy refers to

• The fact that an object is perceived to maintain its known shape, even when its retinal image changes due to variations in viewpoint, distance, or angle.

• The ability to perceive the colour of an object consistently, despite changes in the lighting conditions that might alter the wavelengths of light that the object reflects.

• • Our ability to maintain a constant perception of an object’s size, even though the size of the image on the retina alters as the object moves nearer to or farther from us. 

• The ability to maintain stable images of the object

Size constancy refers to

• The fact that an object is perceived to maintain its known shape, even when its retinal image changes due to variations in viewpoint, distance, or angle.
