Explanation:

Define perceptual constancy

Perceptual constancy is the tendency to perceive objects as stable and unchanging (in size, shape, color, or brightness) despite changes in sensory input (such as retinal image size or lighting).

Evaluate the statement

The statement defines perceptual constancy as a "false perception of reality caused by a tendency to misinterpret stimuli." This is actually the definition of a perceptual illusion, not perceptual constancy. Perceptual constancy is an accurate, adaptive mechanism of perception.

Determine the correct choice

Since the statement is incorrect, the correct option is F (False).

Answer:

• T
• F (Correct answer)
