What will be an ideal response?
More of the computational than other approaches are represented here since bottom-up processing seems to contribute to interpretation of the scene. There isn’t much here that is specifically the Gestalt approach, but since top-down processing is clearly involved, a case could be made here for that approach. There isn’t much action planning involved in the task they are asked to do so this approach is not connected here.
