Form perception helps organize incoming information by arranging things seen into a shape, pattern, size, or solidity. This is why the painting done by MC Escher is overwhelming to the mind and can create frustration (Huffman, 2012). Perceptual constancy is the stability of perception in the presence of variation in physical stimulation (Schiffman, 2000). Perceptual constancy helps organize incoming information by organizing things that are seen into a constant state of being. There are four best-known perceptual constancies: size constancy, shape constancy, color constancy and brightness constancy. Size constancy occurs when the brain is able to perceive and know that a person who is far away and appears very small is actually larger when up close. Shape constancy occurs when a piece of paper is turned sideways even though it appears thinner it still feels like the same piece of paper. Color constancy and brightness constancy occur when a black dog sits in the sun and its fur is bright when sunlight hits it. (Huffmann, 2012). Depth perception is the three-dimensional view of visual space and distance (Wolfe, Kluender, & Levi, 2012). Depth perception helps organize incoming information by helping one judge the distance of different objects in the environment (Wolfe, Kluender, & Levi, 2012). Depth cues are information about the depth of visual space. Depth indicators can be monocular or binocular. Monocular depth cues which are depth cues viewed with one eye. Binocular depth cues are depth cues seen with both eyes (Wolfe, Kluender, and Levi,
