What are the fundamental organizational principles of visual perception?

Solution

The main ones are-

1.Proximity: This principle emphasis that the features (ex- square pattern of dots)which are close together are associated.Similarly, we associate the lines which are close together.   

   2. Similarity : It emphasis that the features which look similar are associated.Without two different recurrent features we would either see rows or column or both when little circles & squares are evenly spaced both horizontally & vertically so proximity does not come into play.

3.Good continuity :   It says that contours based on smooth continuity are preferred to abrupt changes of direction.

4. Closure: According to this principle, interpretations which produce\' closed \' rather than \'open\' figures are favoured.

5. Smallness: small area tends to be seen as figures against a larger background.

6.   Symmetry:    It is that symmetrical areas tends to be seen as figures against asymmetrical backgrounds.

7. Surroundedness : It suggest that it\'s easier to see vase rather than faces in the two versions on left below .

8. Pregnant :   The simplest and most stable interpretations are favoured.
