Continuity
When designers arrange elements to draw a viewer’s focus, which principle of Gestalt Theory are they primarily using?

It creates shadows that provide depth cues

Closure
The Gestalt principle that explains our tendency to follow lines or curves in visual design is known as:
Continuity
Which Gestalkt principle is applied when objects moving in the same direction are perceived as part of the same group?
Common Fate
When users perceive a website layout as balanced and organized, which visual principle is likely at play?
Symmetry
In face recognition systems, which principle helps in distinguish the face from the background?
Figure-Ground Perception
What explains why we perceive shadows under objects as depth cues?
Light-from-Above Heuristic
The idea that we see elements that look alike as part of the same group is called:
Similarity
The tendency to perceive a whole object even when some of its parts are missing is called:
Closure
Describes humans as beings who create and interpret signs and symbols to make sense of the world
Homo Significans
Is the process through which our eyes and brain work together to interpret and make sense of visual information from the world
Visual Perception
Suggests that we recognize familiar objects even if their appearance changes slightly or they are seen from different angles.
Chairs Theory
It involved identifying objects, judging distances, recognizing patterns, and more
Visual Perception
This theory refers to how we use context and surroundings to make sense of things that might be ambiguous in isolation and it can affect the way we see a situation
Taxi Theory
This theory relates to how our perception may inluence our judgements about people based on visual cues like facial expressions or clothing
Good and Bad Guy Theory
Occur when the brain interprets an image in a way that differs from physical reality, often due to how it processes.
Visual Illusion
It’s visual phenomenon that exploits the limitations of our visual system that simply tricks our vision
Optical Illusion
The “impossible triangle” (Penrose triangle) appears to form a continuous loop in 3D but is actually impossible to construct
Visual Illusion
Is the ability to remember visual details, such as shaped, colors, or spatial arrangements, after they are no longer in view
Visual Memory
It suggests that certain visual characteristics can trigger biases, making us perceive someone as friendly or untrustworthy
Visual Memory
They reveal how perception can be deceived
Visual illusion
It plays a key role in recognizing objects and people
Visual Memory
It reflects how people natually assign meaning to things through language, symbols, and cultural signs
Homo Significans
Recognizing a friend’s face in a crowd involves processing visual cues like shape, colors, and movement to distinguish them from others
Visual Perception
The process of measuring where and how the eyes move in response to visual stimuli, often used in research to understand attention and focus.
Eye Tracking
In visual perception, it referes to space or region taken up by an object, often impacting how we perceive depth and distance
Area
A Gestalt principle that explains our preference for seeing continuous lines and patterns rather than disjointed segments
Continuity
A psychological theory that explains how people naturally organize visual elements into groups or unified wholes, making sense of complex visual scene
Gestalt Theory
A Gestalt principle where objects moving in the same direction are seen as related or part of the same group
Common Fate
The ability understand the positions of objects in space relative to each other and to oneself
Spatial Relations
A Gestalt principle that refers to the mind’s tendency to fill in gaps to perceive a complete image or shape
Closure
A Gestalkt principle that suggests objects close to each other are perceive as a groupo
Proximity
The ability to understand and remember the order of visual information, important for reading and other sequential tasks
Visual Sequencing
The ability to separate objects from their background, which helps in distinguishing relevant visual information from irrelevant
