Franz has recently had a minor accident that resulted in temporary brain impairment. Franz parks his car and as he walks away, Franz can no longer identify the car the further away from it he gets. He says the car is not his because it is too tiny to be his. What perceptual rule is involved when Franz cannot identify the car?

You should be able to decide which "rule" is contributing to Franz's problem.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
