- Form constancy - the ability to notice that two objects are the same even if they are different in size, color, etc.
- Figure ground - the ability to find an object when it is hidden in a busy background (e.g. “Where’s Waldo”)
- Visual closure - the ability to identify two objects that are the same even if part of one is missing
