Immanuel can see few children flying a kite on top of a building at a distance. As the kite flies farther up into the sky it looks like it is getting smaller and smaller. However, Immanuel knows the kite is not shrinking due to his brain's ability to maintain:

Perceptual constancy, is also know as Object Constancy, or Constancy Phenomenon. It is the ability of the brain to view perception of objects not minding the variations in retinal image when an object adjusts position or distance from the viewer. It helps animals and humans to view familiar objects as possessing standard shape, size, colour, or location irrespective of variations in the angle of perspective, distance, or lighting despite the fact that the illumination and retinal images may vary.

Another example is the distance between a door and an individual such that no matter the distance between a door and a person, the person still perceive it as possessing a constant size.

Answer:

Answer is perceptual constancy

Explanation:

Perceptual constancy can be explained as the ability or tendency of perceiving or seeing a familiar object ah having constant or standard shape or size despite or regardless of the distance of the object.

Perceptual constancy has three types , which are

* Shape constancy

* Size constancy

In the case of Immanuel, he was able to know that the kite is not shrinking despite the distance, this is because his brain has the ability of maintaining perceptual constancy.
