The Gestalt psychologists described several principles of how we organize perceptions into meaningful wholes. Define the principles of (a) proximity, (b) similarity, (c) continuation, and (d) closure
What will be an ideal response?
Proximity is the tendency to perceive objects that are close together as belonging to a group.
Similarity is the tendency to perceive objects that resemble each other as forming a group.
Continuation is the filling in of gaps. When a line is interrupted, we perceive a line because elements of a continuous visual line are grouped together.
Closure
occurs when items are grouped together because they complete a familiar figure. When a familiar figure is interrupted, we imagine the rest of the figure.
