Transcript text: According to the law of , we are more likely to perceive smoothly flowing lines rather than choppy or jagged lines.
Solution
The answer is B: good continuation.
Explanation for each option:
A. Closure: The law of closure is a Gestalt principle that suggests we tend to perceive a complete image even when there are gaps in the information. This principle is more about filling in missing parts to see a whole rather than perceiving smooth lines.
B. Good continuation: This is the correct answer. The law of good continuation is a Gestalt principle that states we are more likely to perceive lines as continuous and flowing smoothly rather than as abrupt or jagged. This principle helps us make sense of complex visual stimuli by organizing them into coherent patterns.
C. Proximity: The law of proximity is another Gestalt principle that suggests objects that are close to each other tend to be perceived as a group. This principle is more about grouping based on spatial closeness rather than the perception of smooth lines.
D. Similarity: The law of similarity is a Gestalt principle that states we tend to group objects that are similar in appearance. This principle is about grouping based on shared characteristics, not about the perception of smooth versus jagged lines.
