1. - determine how objects

and then perceived as such.

2. - emphasizes nature of perception
and this are different ways to perceive
things. Some gestalt theories to cause

arrowheads at
the ends of each
line.

9. - an apparent
deflection of a
straight line when
it is interrupted by
two lines parallel
to each other.

10. – an illusion of visual
space perception in
which two parallel
lines intersected by
numerous short
diagonal lines slanting
in the opposite
direction seem to
diverge.
