Figure Ground Perception - Picking out objects against a background to make them easier to see
Gestalt - Refers to a pattern / Form a "whole" that is more than the sum of its parts / proximity, continuity, closure
Interposition - When an object appears to block the view of another, we assume that the blocking object is in a specific position relative to distance
Relative Size - Interpret familiar objects as farther away when they appear smaller
Linear Perspective - Flowers in the distance seem farther away because the rows converge / our brain reads this as a sign of distance
Context Effect - The influence of environmental factors on one's perception of a stimulus
Sensory Adaptation - A reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after constant exposure to it / reduces our awareness
Common Region - When objects are located within the same closed region, we perceive them as being grouped together
Closure - If there is a break in the object, we perceive the object as continuing in a smooth pattern
Focal Point - Whatever stands out visually will capture and hold the viewer's attention first
