INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN
CONSTANCY In constancy
experiments, subjects
consistently differ from one
another. Some tend to match
on the basis of constancy
regardless of conditions or the
kind of constancy tested.
Others tend consistently to
stray from full constancy.
The fact that experimental
observers are consistent in
their patterns of matching
would seem to suggest that some
characteristic of the individual
is responsible rather than just
random variation in the face of
a difficult task. Yet there is no
convincing evidence that such
differences occur in daily life.
When several people are
together, do they not typically
agree about the strikingly huge
size of the horizon moon, the
strikingly diminished size of
houses, trees, and cars seen in
the valley from a very distant
mountain, and other such
perceptual phenomena?
