Elements tend to be perceived as grouped together when they are similar to each other.
Principle of Similarity
Parts of a visual image that move in the same direction and at the same speed are seen as parts of a single object.
Principle of Common Fate
Objects that are close to each other tend to be grouped together.
Principle of Proximity
Elements tend to be perceived as part of a pattern if they follow a continuous direction or shape.
Principle of Continuity
When parts of a whole picture are missing, our perception fills in the visual gap.
Principle of Closure
Elements are perceived as either the 'figure' (the focused-on element) or the 'ground' (the background on which the figure rests).
Figure-Ground Principle
Experience shapes the way we perceive groups. We perceive elements in a way that conforms to a familiar pattern or shape.
Principle of Past Experience
Perceptual experience where the perceptual whole is different or more complex than the simple sum of its parts.
