The tendencies of humans to group stimuli by similarity and by physical proximity to each other are illustrative of 

• Perceptual inference
• Gestalt principles
• Concept of constancy
• Prototype theory

Almost half the birds in the yard were brown cardinals and the rest were bright red cardinals, so Jimmy perceived them as two distinct groups of birds. This best illustrates the principle of:

• connectedness
• similarity
• closure
• relative clarity

Figures tend to be perceived as whole, complete objects, even if spaces or gaps exist in the representation, thus demonstrating the principle of:

• Closure
• Proximity
• Continuity
• Similarity

Which Gestalt Principle?

• Figure Ground Perception

• Closure

• Similarity

Why is it that we can see the panda in the logo and not a bunch of black shapes?

• We perceive the proximity of the shapes as a group

• We automatically fill the gaps between the black shapes to create a panda

• We simplify the scene into figures and background
