Gestalt Principles of Visual Organization and Depth Perception Cues
Directions: Select a description from the right for each term on the left.
1. principle of Pragnanz/simplicity
2. principle of similarity
3. principle of closure
4. principle of proximity
5. principle of good continuation
6. accommodation
7. convergence
8. binocular disparity
9. relative size
10. overlap/interposition
11. texture gradient
12. linear perspective
a. depth perception cue based on the amount that the eyes turn inward to focus on an object
b. the further away an object, the less texture is apparent on the object
c. lines are perceived as following the smoothest path possible
d. stimuli that are similar to each other are perceived as belonging together
e. the apparent convergence of parallel lines as they recede into the distance
f. the change in shape of the lens to focus light onto the retina
g. stimuli that are near each other are perceived as belonging together
h. stimuli that are near appear to overlap those that are further away
i. stimuli are perceived with simplest interpretation possible
j. smaller stimuli are perceived as further away than larger stimuli (relative closeness to the horizon usually accompanies this cue)
k. stimuli are perceived as closed rather than open (i.e., with gaps)
l. the degree of difference in the two retinal images (closer objects produce more disparity)
Answer:
1. principle of Pragnanz/simplicity: i. stimuli are perceived with the simplest interpretation possible.
2. principle of similarity : d. stimuli that are similar to each other are perceived as belonging together.
3. principle of closure: k. stimuli are perceived as closed rather than open (i.e., with gaps)
4. principle of proximity: g. stimuli that are near each other are perceived as belonging together
5. principle of good continuation: c. lines are perceived as following the smoothest path possible
6. accommodation: f. the change in shape of the lens to focus light on to the retina
7. convergence: a. depth perception cue based on the amount that the eyes turn inward to focus on an object
8. binocular disparity: l. the degree of difference in the two retinal images (closer objects produce more disparity)
9. relative size: j. smaller stimuli are perceived as further away than larger stimuli (relative closeness to the horizon usually accompanies this cue)
10. overlap/interposition: h. stimuli that are near appear to overlap those that are further away
11. texture gradient: b. the further away an object, the less texture is apparent on the object
12. linear perspective: e. the apparent convergence of parallel lines as they recede into the distance
