  1. Proximity

  2. Similarity

  3. Continuity

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Proximity, similarity, and continuity are all principles of perceptual organization. Proximity refers to the tendency to group objects that are close together, similarity refers to the tendency to group objects that are similar in appearance, and continuity refers to the tendency to group objects that form a continuous line or pattern.

What is the Gestalt principle of perceptual organization that states that objects that are similar in appearance tend to be grouped together?

  1. Proximity

  2. Similarity

  3. Continuity

  4. Closure


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Gestalt principle of perceptual organization that states that objects that are similar in appearance tend to be grouped together is called similarity.
