a. relative luminance.
b. context effects.
c. interposition.
d. perceptual adaptation.

Answer 1

This best illustrates the importance of context effects. Sue only recognizes her teacher in the context of her school. Outside of class her professor is pretty much a stranger to her because she is not used to seeing the professor outside of class. Sue's environment effects how she views her professor.

Answer 2

This best illustrates the importance of context effects
context effects describe how environmental factors could influence someone's response toward a certain stimulus.
In the scenario above, Sue most likely did not recognize her chemistry processor because she associated the visual of her professor with the educational environment, not groceries store environment.
