http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion
Some illusions are based on general assumptions the brain makes during perception. These assumptions are made using organizational principles (e.g., Gestalt theory), an individual's capacity for depth perception and motion perception, and perceptual constancy. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_constancy
Constancies: Size, Shape, Color, Lightness, Distance, Location
Subjective constancy or perceptual constancy is the perception of an object or quality as constant even though our sensation of the object changes. While the physical characteristics of an object may not change, in an attempt to deal with our external world, our perceptual system has mechanisms that adjust to the stimulus.
