Definitions:

Perceptual Constancy

Perceptual Constancy is the perceptual stability of the size, shape, brightness, and color of objects, despite physical differences in the retinal image.

Object Permanence

The understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be observed (seen, heard, touched, smelled or sensed in any way).

Accommodation

In psychology, it refers to the process by which individuals adjust their schemas or understanding in response to new information; in ophthalmology, it's the eye's ability to change its focus to see objects at different distances.

Binocular Depth

The ability to perceive the world in three dimensions and judge the distance of objects, thanks to the different visual images each eye perceives.
