Gestalt Laws of Perception

Gestalt Laws of Perception are principles that explain how we organize visual information into meaningful patterns. They suggest that our brains prefer to perceive objects as whole forms rather than a collection of separate parts. Key principles include similarity (grouping similar items), proximity (viewing nearby objects as related), continuity (seeing patterns or lines as continuous), and closure (filling in gaps to perceive complete shapes). These laws help us make sense of complex visual stimuli, enabling quick and efficient interpretation of our surroundings.
