B. context effects.

Explanation:

The options for this question are missing. The options are:

A. retinal disparity

B. context effects.

C. bottom-up processing.

D. sensory adaptation.

E. absolute threshold.

F. perceptual adaptation.

In psychology, the context effects describe how the environment has an influence on the way we perceive a stimulus. In other words, the context in which we observe things has an influence in the way we perceive them.

In this example, Sue Yen sees her teacher several times a week (in the classroom) but she didn't recognize the professor when she saw her in the grocery store. We can see that the environment in which she saw the professor changed and this change in the environment changed the way she perceived the professor and didn't recognize her. Therefore, this illustrates the importance of the context effects.
