They are two different names for the same concept.
|
|
|
Similarity is when parts of a stimulus pattern are a similar distance from each other; proximity is when parts of a stimulus pattern are the same colour.
|
|
|
Similarity is the part of a stimulus pattern that sits in rows, while proximity is the part that sits in columns.
|
|
|
Similarity is when parts of a stimulus pattern are physically similar so that we perceive them as a whole; proximity is when parts of a stimulus pattern are close together so that we perceive them as a whole.

Detailed explanation-1: -Try these settings to explore the Gestalt Laws of Proximity and Similarity. The Law of Proximity is that closer objects are grouped together. So if you increase horizontal or vertical separation, what do you see? The Law of Similarity is that objects that are similar are grouped together.
Detailed explanation-2: -The principle of similarity states that people tend to group similar elements together based on attributes such as colour or shape (Wertheimer, 1923). The principle of proximity states that elements that are located close to each other will be grouped together (Wertheimer, 1923).
Detailed explanation-3: -Principle #2: similarity The principle of similarity states that when things appear to be similar to each other, we group them together. And we also tend to think they have the same function. For instance, in this image, there appear to be two separate and distinct groups based on shape: the circles and the squares.
Detailed explanation-4: -The classic principles of the gestalt theory of visual perception include similarity, continuation, closure, proximity, figure/ground, and symmetry & order (also known as prägnanz). Others, such as “common fate, ” have been added in recent years.
