Perception Laws

Rules of Perceptual Organization


(1)Closure- we fill in the gaps to create a whole image
This is an example of closure because we perceive the sign as a circle even though it is not a complete shape.



(2)Continuity- we perceive things as smooth, continuous patterns rather than discontinuous ones
This is an example of continuity because the human eye perceives this flock of geese as a whole, or V formation, rather than individual geese.



(3)Similarity- we group things based on their similarities
This is an example of similarity because the soccer players are grouped into two different teams due to the fact that some are wearing all red and others are wearing all white.
