which were identified by Gestalt psychologist, specify how our brains combine and organize individual pieces or elements into a meaningful perceptions
|
Rules of Organizations
|
|
states that, in organizing stimuli, we tend to automatically distinguish between a figure and a ground: which has less detail
|
Figure-Ground Rule
|
|
States that, in organizing stimuli, we tend to fill in any missing parts of a figure and see the figure as complete
|
Closure Rule
|
|
States that, in organizing stimuli, we goup together elements that appear similar
|
Similarity Rule
|
|
States that, in organizing stimuli, we group together object that are physically close to and another
|
Proximity Rule
|
|
State the stimuli are organized in the simplest way possible
|
Simplicity Rule
|
|
States that, in organizing stimuli, we tend to favor smooth or continuous paths when interpreting a series of points or lines
|
Continuity Rule
|
|
Refers to our tendency to perceive objects as remaining the same size even when their images on the retina are continually growing or shrinking.
|
Size Constancy
|
|
Refers to your tendency tp perceived an object as retaining it’s ame shape even though when you view it from different angles, it’s shape is continually changing its image on retina
|
Shape Constancy
|
|
Brightness-Refers to the tendency to perceive brightness as remaining the same in changing illumination
•Color Constancy: Refer to the tendency tp perceive colors as remaining stable despite differences in lighting. |
Brightness and Color Constancy
|
|
Refers to the ability of your eye and brain to add a third dimension, depth, to all visual perceptions, even though images projected on the retina are in only two dimensions, height width.
|
Depth Perception
|
|
Depends on the movement of both eyes.
|
Binocular Depth Cues
|
|
Refers to a binocular cue for depth perception based on signals sent from muscles that turn the eyes. To focus on near or approaching objects, these muscles turn the eyes inward, toward the nose. The brain uses the signals sent by these muscles to determine the distance of the object.
|
Convergence
|
|
Refers to a binocular depth cue that depends on the distance between the eyes. Because of their different positions, each eye receives a slightly different image. The difference between the right and left eyes’ images is the retinal disparity. The brain interprets a large retinal disparity to mean a close object and a small retinal disparity to mean a distant object.
