Definition - Perception is the interpretation of sensory stimulai. Principle of Perception - 1. Fingure Ground Relationship 2. Principle of grouping 3. Principle of symmetry 4. Principle of context 5. Principle of Contrast 6. Principle of adaptability

2. • Perception is the interpretation of
sensory stimuli.
• Perception refers to the
interpretation of what we take in
through our senses.
• Perception is the process by which
peope select,organize and interpret
information to form a meaning ful
picture .

4. According to principal of figure
ground relationship A figure is
perceived in relationship to its
background.The perception of the
object or figure interns of
color,size shape and itensity .
Principal of Figure and
Ground Relationship

5. Principal of Figure and Ground Relationship

6. According to this principal
object can be perceived
meaningfully when they are
grouped together. The
following principles make our
perception more meaningful.
Principal of Grouping

7. Principal of Grouping

8. Proximity means nearness the
object which are near to each
other can be perceived
meaningfully by grouping them.
Principal of Proximity

9. Principal of Proximity

10. There is a tendency to
perceive object of a similar
size and shape or colour as a
unit.
Principal of Similarity

11. Principal of Similarity

12. Any stimulus which extends in
the same direction or shape
will be perceived as a whole
our attention is being held
more by a continuous pattern
rather than discontinuous ones.
Principal of continuity

13. Principal of continuity

14. While confronting an
incomplete pattern and One
tends to complete or close the
pattern or fill in sensory gaps
and perceive it as a meaningful
Whole. This type of organization
is extremely helpful in making
valuable interpretation of
various incomplete object
pattern or stimuli present in our
environment.
Principal of closure

15. Principal of closure

16. Objects having symmetrical
shape Are perceived as
groups.
Principal of Symmetry

17. Principal of Symmetry

18. Perceptional organization is
also governed by the
principle of context that is an
examiner may award higher
marks to the same answer
book in a pleasant context in
an unpleasant one.
Principal of context

20. Perceptual organization is very
much affected through
contrast effect as the stimuli
that are in a sharp contrast to
nearby stimulai may draw our
maximum attention and carry
different perceptual effect.
Principal of contrast

22. The perceptual organization
for some stimuli depends
upon the adaptability of the
perciever to perceive similar
stimuli.An individual who
adapt himself to work before
an intense bright light will
perceive normal sunlight as
quite dim .
Principal of Adaptability
