Preferred term

perceptual organization: vision  

Definition

  • Perceptual organization is part of the process by which sensory data collected by our receptors is combined and integrated into structured, organized percepts. The eyes signal information about the light around us, but humans do not consciously experience these separate pieces of information—we don't see countless patches of color from the wavelengths registered by our cones.
