Key Points: Perception Phenomena> Laws of Perceptual Organization
- The laws of perceptual organisation were proposed by Max Wertheimer (1923) to explain how the brain organises sensations into meaningful patterns.
- Law of Proximity – Stimuli that are close to each other are perceived as a group.
- Law of Similarity – Stimuli that are similar in shape, size, or colour are perceived together.
- Law of Continuity – We tend to perceive stimuli as continuous and smooth rather than broken or separate.
- Law of Closure – We tend to fill in missing parts and perceive incomplete figures as complete.
- These laws show that perception organises stimuli into a meaningful whole.
