The mechanism which accomplishes this 'systematic overlooking' is the information-processing system of the organism, and the principle according to which it is accomplished is that this system never expands more of its capacity on a given perceptual task than is necessary according to the current needs and interests of the agent." (Sayre 1968, p.151-152) There are several types of perceptual constancies:- Object constancy Shape constancy Size contancy Colour constancy Brightness constancy Distance constancy Location constancy Roughness constancy Velocity constancy Sound In music, subjective constancy is the identification of a musical instrument as constant under changing timbre or "conditions of changing pitch and loudness, in different environments and with different players."
