|
|
Perception
|
perceptual selection; selective attention; perceptual organisation - figure-ground (article against a general background), grouping (associatons e.g food with images that show fitness and healthy), closure - information is incomplete e.g. gesalt psychology - part of a whole; perceptual interpretation - use of distortion

|
|
