| 1031996664 | proximity | things that are near each other just because they are near (rows of dots) | 29 | |
| 1031996665 | closure | people will complete figures to see something known (circle and cat) | 30 | |
| 1031996666 | similarity | elements that are similar to be grouped together (the number 2) | 31 | |
| 1031996667 | Simplicity | organize elements in the most simple way possible (rectangle and square) | 32 | |
| 1031996668 | continuity | see things in a smooth continuation | 33 | |
| 1031996669 | perceptual hypothesis | can see something two ways because there is not enough information to process just one, but people will see one if they are told one way or the other | 34 | |
| 1031996670 | depth perception | interpretation of visual clues to understand how near and far objects are | 35 | |
| 1031996671 | binocular depth | a view created using two eyes | 36 | |
| 1031996672 | retinal disparity | right and left see slightly differently to give information about distance pencil test | 37 | |
| 1031996673 | monocular depth cues | clues about distance based on the image in either eye alone like something moving towards you | 38 | |
