Understand that Gestalt psychology focuses on how people naturally organize visual elements into groups or unified wholes.
Recall that Gestalt grouping laws describe principles by which we perceive patterns and objects as whole forms rather than just a collection of parts.
Identify common Gestalt grouping laws such as Proximity, Similarity, Continuity, Closure, and Connectedness.
Recognize that 'Proximity' refers to the tendency to group objects that are close to each other as part of the same group.
Note that terms like Conditioning, Reinforcement, and Extinction are related to learning theories, not Gestalt grouping laws.
