BASIC CONCEPTS OF SENSATION AND PERCEPTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Rules for how we organize visual images into groups:
A
gestalt principles
B
signal detection
C
gate-control
D
perceptual constancies
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In gestalt, similar elements are visually grouped, regardless of their proximity to each other. They can be grouped by color, shape, or size. Similarity can be used to tie together elements that might not be right next to each other in a design.

Detailed explanation-2: -The principle of closure states that when we look at a complex arrangement of visual elements, we tend to look for a single, recognizable pattern. In other words, when you see an image that has missing parts, your brain will fill in the blanks and make a complete image so you can still recognize the pattern.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gestalt principles are the different ways individuals group stimuli together in order to make a whole that makes sense to them. These principles are divided up into five categories: proximity, similarity, continuity, connectedness, and closure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Another Gestalt principle for organizing sensory stimuli into meaningful perception is proximity. This principle asserts that things that are close to one another tend to be grouped together, as Figure 2 illustrates.
