Experiment # 1. Selection and Grouping in Perception:
Our perception of stimuli depends on a series of organisational processes. This aspect has been studied extensively by the gestalt psychologists. The process of organisation depends on a number of factors, due to which our perception of the same stimulus elements differs on different occasions.
The individual experiences reversible figure – ground effects, though the objective stimulus itself remains the same. Such changes in perceptual organisation take place because of changes in the selection and grouping of different parts of the stimulus and therefore the perceptual images are not stable.
