Answer:

Perceptual consistency is a tendency that people have that make us assume every similar objects will have a standardized shape, size, colour, or location even if when we look at them from different angles or distance.

For example, hold a coin and take a look at it. Most humans know that coins are circular in shape. Now turn that coin and see it from sideways. From that new perspective, that coin will no longer look circular. But we still know that the coin is circular due to our perceptual consistency.
