connectedness
b)
similarity
c)
closure
d)
relative clarity
2.
The tendencies of humans to group stimuli by similarity and by physical proximity to each other are illustrative of 
a)
Perceptual inference
b)
Gestalt principles
c)
Concept of constancy
d)
Prototype theory
3.

a)
Closure
b)
Proximity
c)
Continuity
d)
Similarity
4.

Closure

c)

Similarity

5.

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

a)

We perceive the proximity of the shapes as a group

b)

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

c)

We simplify the scene into figures and background

d)

Because of the Figure/Ground principle

6.

Since the image of a person approaching grows larger in our eyes, why do we not perceive that person turning into a giant?

a)

14.

Color constancy refers to the fact that

a)

light waves reflected by an object remain constant despite changes in lighting.

b)

objects are perceived to be the same color even if the light they reflect changes.

c)

the perceived color of an object has a constant relation to its brightness.

d)

the frequency of light waves is directly proportional to the light's wavelength.

e)

colors remain the same hue even when the tint changes under our difference threshold.

15.

Define perceptual organization

a)

The capacity for, or process of, reacting to certain stimuli selectively when several occur simultaneously
