The law of Proximity states that we group all
aspects of a stimuli that are equal into one entity. This means that objects that are far apart or
different are grouped in to two or more objects. How far two objects need to be from each
other in order for us to identify them as two different objects is subjective
to each individual. The Law of Proximity
also keeps us from having to process to many things. Further, this helps us process things faster,
so instead of processing each small thing, we can view them all as a
whole. For example: When looking at the marbles, we
see two groups of six marbles as opposed to just twelve marbles.
