24
Q

Explains how we put different elements together to make one scene or a whole image.

A

Figure and Ground

25
When we have similar objects of size, shape, colour again we form groups.
Similarity
26
When objects are close to each other we tend to associate them together to form groups.
Proximity
27
Objects which are facing the same direction or appear to be traveling the same direction are usually grouped together.
Common Fate
28
Seeing things as a whole is important however seeing in a whole is not necessarily what we are meant to see.
Continuity
29
Occurs when the eye is compelled to move through one object and continue to another object.
Continuation
30
If we have a large pattern with missing components, we tend to fill in the missing parts to create the image we actually see. Occurs when an object is incomplete or a space is not completely enclosed.
Closure
31
This principle shows us that when areas are overlapping, the smallest area is seen as the figure and the larger as the background.
Area
32
Objects which are symmetrical, we are likely to group them together. This principle also describes looking at an image and perceiving it as a whole figure instead of it's individual parts.
Symmetry
33
Is an effective tool to study different aspects of visual perception.
Eye Tracking
34
Solving a problem with insight.
Productive Thinking
