AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Continuity. The third Gestalt principle is continuity. Continuity is that our brains tend to see objects as continuous or smooth rather than disjointed or discontinuous.

Detailed explanation-2: -Continuity. The Gestalt principle of continuity states that we are more likely to construct visual entities out of visual elements that are smooth and continuous, rather than ones that contain abrupt changes in direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two additional Gestalt principles are the law of continuity (or good continuation) and closure. The law of continuity suggests that we are more likely to perceive continuous, smooth flowing lines rather than jagged, broken lines (Figure 4).

Detailed explanation-4: -The law of continuity posits that the human eye will follow the smoothest path when viewing lines, regardless of how the lines were actually drawn.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gestalt Principles of Perception-3: Proximity, Uniform Connectedness, and Good Continuation.
