Everything about Principles of grouping
Perception
The principles of grouping are a set of principles in psychology, first proposed by Gestalt psychologists to account for the observation that humans naturally perceive objects as organized patterns and objects, a principle known as Prägnanz. The German term Gestalt in psychological contexts means shape, pattern, configuration. Gestalt psychologists argued that these principles exist because the mind has an innate disposition to perceive patterns in the stimulus based on certain rules. These principles are organized into five categories: proximity, similarity, continuity, closure, and connectedness. Wikipedia →
