Gestalt Laws of Perceptual Organization
|
A series of rules that specify how we perceptually organize PARTS into WHOLES.
|
|
|
1. Law of Simplicity
|
"Every stimulus pattern is seen in such a way that the resulting structure is as simple as possible.."
Ex: When we look at the 5 olympic circles, we see five simple cirles, and not 9 different objects. SIMPLE! |
|
|
2. Law of Similarity
|
Similar things appear to be grouped together
|
|
|
3. Law of Good Continuation
|
Points that are connected result in straight or smooth lines, are seen as belonging together.
We don't see a broken pattern. |
|
|
4. Law of Proximity
|
Things that are near to each other appear to be grouped together.
|
|
|
5. The Law of Common Fate
|
Things that are moving in the same direction appear to be grouped together.
Ex: A Flock of Birds |
|
|
6. Law of Familiarity
|
Things are more likely to form groups if the groups appear familiar or meaningful.
