Question

Write down the determinations of perception

Answer 1

Hi there


Determinants of perception are basically divided into two categories:

1. Structural

2. Behavioral


● Structural determinants refer to those qualities that stem from the stimulus itself such as its size, shape, color, amount, intensity, continuity, distance, depth etc.

● Behavioral determinants refer to attention, past experiences, needs, values, learning of a person

◆ Besides these two basic categories another important determinant of perception is stimulus organization, that is, object arrangement. Perceptual organization is governed by the Gestalt laws of organization: Proximity, Similarity, Closure and Continuity.



Thank You
