Document Summary
Gestalt principles of grouping (focus on how our perceptions build up our world) Proximity: group things into a single object if they"re close together. Similarity: tend to put things together if they"re similar, if simiar on both side. Closure: if it closes off, if the edges of the object is closed off we re more likely to see it as a thing. --- how we build up information that"s coming into our perceptual systems is really important. When we look at a scene, decide whether that;s a big object in the background. Are we seeing the face or the vace. All of our perceptions are ultimately built up by the ambiguous cues. Even temporal perception is relative /illusory // constructed: lags behind reality . We back-date the timing of events: completely fake, when things happen to you, we don"t perceive the delay of time sending signal from brain to your muscle.
