AP PSYCHOLOGY SENSORY PERCEPTION

RULES OF PERCEPTUAL ORGANIZATION

   •    Closure - This law is the illusion of seeing an incomplete stimulus as though it were whole.

We fill in the gaps to create a complete, whole object. There is no triangles or circles; our mind fills in the gaps to create a familiar shape.

   •    Continuity - this law states that patterns are perceived as smooth and continuous

Rather than perceiving three separate lines of dots meeting in the middle, we see one continuous, smooth path of dots branching out into two lines.

   •    Similarity - this law states that similar things tend to appear grouped together. Grouping can occur in both visual and auditory stimuli.

Most people see the circles and triangles as vertical columns.

   •    Proximity - this law states things that are near each other seem to be grouped together.

The birds appear to be flying together in a "V". 

* Figure-ground perception - this law states that when we view a visual image, we simplify it by separating it into figure and ground. The figure is the object you perceive. The ground is everything in the background.
