Discussion
Similar birds flying together and close to each other form an arrowhead shape. The arrowhead formation by the birds is best explained by which principle of perceptual organisation?
Answer: B
The arrowhead formation is explained by proximity, the Gestalt principle that elements close to one another are perceived as belonging together and forming a group. The birds are the same kind, so similarity would not separate any, and similarity is not what makes the shape. Symmetry concerns balanced halves, and 'closer' is not a Gestalt principle, though 'closure' is.
Proximity says that things near each other are grouped together, and the birds flying close to each other are seen as one shape, the arrowhead.
