The ‘simplicity’ or ‘configurational goodness’ of a figure is said to observe the general rule that the information about the parts is able to provide knowledge of the whole.Ī contour refers to a boundary between a figure and its ground. Although they are not complete, if we see them carefully, but still there exist strong inclination to perceive them as unified wholes, thus we tend to fill mentally fill or “close” them.Īnything which extends itself into space in the same shape, size and colour without a break is perceived as a whole figure.Īccording to this Gestalt’s principle, we tend to interpret our sensory stimulation in a way that we perceive the simplest possible pattern. If we look at the geometrical shapes which are given below, we actually see them as a triangle, square and circle. This is called the factor of continuity and illustrates our natural opposition to break the continuous flow of line, pattern or design in our perceptual awareness. Further the dots are grouping themselves as two continuing lines rather than as 4 short lines meeting at central focus. In viewing a pattern such as shown below two factors are prevalent, we see the dots as straight line and not as separate dots. However, as we were to bring them close together you would no longer see 4 groups, but rather the one equally meaningless word ‘disablestish’. Here we see 4 groups of three letters each even though they are meaningless in this form, we see them as dis/abl/est/ish in different. Items that are closed together tend to be grouped in our perceptions. X x x x o o o o x x x x o o o o x x x x o o o oīy reason of this same organizing tendency, when we view a land, sea or any one travelling over a large city in an aero plane cannot help but pick out the clusters of similar houses here and there which represent recent building development. For example, the similar X’s and O’s even though the rows are evenly spaced. Here there is a strong tendency to see four alternating groups of double rows because of our inclination to units.
Items of the same size, shape or quality are more likely to be reviewed as a group or pattern than similar elements. These patterning tendencies have been classified descriptively as factors of: These are the tendencies which might be related to learning or experience. Gestalt followers point out causes of certain natural tendencies which might be related to organizing and grouping of perception in the brain. The main difference between sensation and perception is that, sensation receives and sow secondary stimulus from the external world, while perception interprets, analyses and integrates the stimulus with other secondary information. So the cause of behaviour may be due to both sensation and perception. Our behaviour depends on how we understand and interpret stimuli from the world around us. Sensation is defined as a process whereby stimulation of receptor cells send nerve impulses to the brain, where they register as a touch, sound, taste, splash of colour and so forth. Perception is identifying the process through which we interpret and organize sensory information to produce our conscious experience of objects and objects relationship. Sensation is concerned with the initial contact between organisms and their physical environment. This is the characteristic human approach to anything that is familiar in the environment, we are accustomed to organizing things in our mind into a form, shape, melody or scene that makes up our mind a meaningful whole, whatever the perception, it is a unified experience. We know only that we see, hear and respond to situations in meaningful contexts.
