PERCEPTION LAWS
1. Closure - objects grouped together are seen as a whole.
Example:
People can read words with missing letters and still complete the word mentally.
2. Continuity - Points that are connected by straight or curving lines are seen in a way that follows the smoothest path. Lines are seen together, instead of seeing separate lines.
Example:
3. Similarity - Items that are similar tend to be grouped together.
Example:
Grouping players on a soccer team by the color uniform they are wearing.
4. Proximity - Objects near each other tend to be grouped together.
Example:
Seeing the birds forming together to make a "V" shape, instead of viewing each bird one by one.
5. Figure-ground Perception: the organization of the visual field into objects (the figures) that stand out from their surroundings (the ground).
Example:
6. Binocular Cues: depth cues that depend on the use of two eyes
Convergence: a binocular cue for perceiving depth, the eyes converge inward when looking at an object. The closer the object, the greater the inward strain.
Example:
7. Interposition: If one object partially blocks our view of another, we perceive it is closer.
Example:
8. Relative Size: we assume the two objects are similar in size, we perceive the one that casts the smaller retinal image as farther away.
Example:
Example:
9. Motion Perception: Process through which humans orient themselves of their own or others physical movements
Example:
**Perceptual Constancies: Perceiving objects as unchangeable even as illumination and retinal images change
10. Size Constancy: perceiving objects as having a constant size, even while our distance from them varies.
Example:
11. Brightness Constancy: Perceiving an object as having a constant lightness even while its illumination varies.
Example:
12. Shape Constancy: Perceiving the form of familiar objects as constant even while our retinal images of them change.
Example:
