Choose three Gestalt principles of perceptual organization and explain them (drawing pictures may help). Why are these referred to as "principles of perceptual organization"?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

* Figure and ground involve organization of the focus (figure) of our attention and the background (ground).
* Proximity suggests that perceptual elements seen close together are seen as a group.
* Similarity suggests that perceptual elements seen as a group are seen as similar.
* Good continuation and direction indicate that smooth, flowing figures are more readily perceived than choppy, broken figures.
* Inclusiveness states that the identity of a smaller figure may be lost within a larger, more complex figure.
* These are referred to as the principles of perceptual organization because they serve as the building blocks for our automatic method to organizing our perceptual environment.
