A. Rules of Perceptual Organization: Similarity

Rules of Perceptual Organization: Similarity

When presented with multiple different figures, we will group together like ones.

People would view both A and B as lines, because we group the circles together according to their color. In image A, we would see horizontal lines of red and white, and in image B we see vertical lines. It is possible to view these in other ways, such as viewing image B as horizontal lines of alternating red and white circles, although people will not automatically see an image this way due to our tendency to group together similar figures.
