12) Shape Constancy

Shape constancy is the ability to perceive "real" shapes of objects regardless of their retinal projections. For example, when you look at a closed door straight on, the image on your retina is approximately rectangular. When you open the door the image on your retina is trapezoidal but your mind still perceives the door as being rectangular.
