Question

Although he was wearing a pair of glasses that shifted the apparent location of objects20 degrees to his right, Lars was still able to play tennis very effectively. This best illustrates the value of:__________A) perceptual adaptation.B) retinal disparity.C) binocular cues.D) perceptual set.E) shape constancy

Answer 1

This best illustrates the value of Shape Constancy (E)

Step-by-step explanation:

Shape constancy is the tendency to perceive an object as having the same shape regardless of its orientation or the angle which we view it.

Answer 2

This best illustrates the value of A) perceptual adaptation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perceptual adaptation refers to the ability our brain has to adjust to new visual conditions so that we can function normally. Even if Lars had been wearing glasses that shifted the apparent location in 40 degrees, his brain would still adapt and he would still play tennis normally. Psychologist G. M. Stratton conducted a series of studies in which he confirms perceptual adaptation can take place even when we see the world upside down. After a while, our brain gets used to it, and we are able to walk normally.
