The way we perceive our environment is what makes us
different from other animals and different from each other.
In this Magazine,
we will discuss the various theories on how our sensation
are organized and interpreted, and therefore,
how we make sense of what we see, hear, taste, touch, and
smell.

5. Gestalt Principles of
Grouping
The German word "Gestalt" roughly translates to "whole" or "form,“
and the Gestalt psychologist's sincerely believed that the whole is greater than the sum
of its parts.
In order to interpret what we receive through our senses,
they theorized that we attempt to organize this information into certain groups.
This allows us to interpret the information completely without unneeded repetition.
For example, when you see one dot, you perceive it as such,
but when you see five dots together, you group them together by saying a "row of dots."
Without this tendency to group our perceptions,
that same row would be seen as "dot, dot, dot, dot, dot,"
taking both longer to process and reducing our perceptive ability.
The Gestalt principles of grouping include four types: similarity, proximity, continuity, and
closure.
6. Similarity refers to our tendency to group things together based upon how similar to each other they are.
In the first figure above, we tend to see two rows of red dots and two rows of black dots.
The dots are grouped according to similar color.
In the next figure, we tend to perceive three columns of two lines each rather than six different lines.
The lines are grouped together because of how close they are to each other, or their proximity to one another.
Continuity refers to our tendency to see patterns and
therefore perceive things as belonging together if they form some type of continuous pattern.
In the third figure, although merely a series of dots,
it begins to look like an "X" as we perceive the upper left side as continuing all the way to the lower right and
the lower left all the way to the upper right.
Finally, in the fourth figure, we demonstrate closure, or our tendency to complete familiar objects that have gaps in them.
Even at first glance, we perceive a circle and a square.
7. In the case of visual perception,
some people can actually see the percept shift in their mind's eyes.
Others, who are not picture thinkers, may not necessarily perceive the 'shape-shifting' as their world changes.
esemplastic' nature has been shown by experiment: an ambiguous image has multiple interpretations on the perceptual level.
This confusing ambiguity of perception is exploited in human technologies such as camouflage,
and also in biological mimicry, for example by European Peacock butterflies,
whose wings bear eye markings that birds respond to as though they were the eyes of a dangerous predator.
There is also evidence that the brain in some ways operates
on a slight "delay", to allow nerve impulses from distant parts
of the body to be integrated into simultaneous signals.
Perception is one of the oldest fields in psychology. The
oldest quantitative law in psychology is the Weber-Fechner
law, which quantifies the relationship between the intensity
of physical stimuli and their perceptual effects (for example,
testing how much darker a computer screen can get before
the viewer actually notices). The study of perception gave
rise to the Gestalt school of psychology, with its emphasis on
8. Imagine if every time an object changed we had to completely reprocess it.
The next time you walk toward a building,
you would have to re-evaluate the size of the building with each step,
because we all know as we get closer, everything gets bigger.
e building which once stood only several inches is now somehow more than 50 feet tall.
Luckily, this doesn't happen.
Due to our ability to maintain constancy in our perceptions, we see that building
as the same height no matter what distance it is.
Perceptual constancy refers to our ability to see things differently without
having to reinterpret the object's properties.
There are typically three constancies discussed, including size, shape, brightness.
Size constancy refers to our ability to see objects as maintaining the same size even when our distance
from them makes things appear larger or smaller. This holds true for all of our senses. As we walk away from our rad

We understand, and perceive it as being just as loud as before. The difference being our distance from what we are se
Everybody has seen a plate shaped in the form of a circle. When we see that same plate from an angle, however,
it looks more like an ellipse.
Shape constancy allows us to perceive that plate as still being a circle even though
the angle from which we view it appears to distort the shape.

- Mario! I came home exhausted,
there was no light, I had to take my wife to swallow out
the food was crap and expensive, so expensive that I had no money to pay

We had to walk home and when we arrived, had not yet reached the light,
and lit the candles. With all that I unveil and had to endure my wife
talking to me for another hour ...
