11) Perceptual Constancies- Brightness Constancy

Brightness Constancy- the tendency to perceive an object as changing its level of brightness in relation to its surroundings. When you stand outside in the sun, you look brighter than when you are inside in the shadows, even though we are still the same color as we were outside. This can be seen in this example.

This is a picture on my sister inside. Her hair is darker.

This is a picture of her outside. Her hair is the same color in both pictures, but because of the difference in lighting, they look a little different.
