Gestalt principles of perceptual organization
Gestalt's principles of organization allows us to see and recognize each object as a whole, rather than by its parts. Gestalt psychologists believed that our minds follow certain laws or principles of organization in coming to interpretations. The complete list of these principles is extensive, but there are five major principles worthy of discussion. These principles include principle of proximity, similarity, good continuation, closure and common fate.

Principles

 * Proximity- grouping together objects that are close to each other.


 * Similarity- grouping together objects that are similar to one another.


 * Good continuation- grouping together objects that form a continuous straight or curved line.


 * Closure- filling in the gaps to see a complete figure rather than just seeing its parts.


 * Common fate- objects that move together will be grouped together.
