The document discusses Gestalt principles of visual perception, which are theories developed in the 1920s about how people perceive the world. The key Gestalt principles are similarity, proximity, and common region. Similarity means elements that look alike are perceived to have the same function. Proximity means elements close together are perceived as more related than those farther apart. Common region means elements within the same closed area are perceived as grouped together. Understanding these principles is important for design as it helps create intuitive, user-friendly designs based on human psychology and behavior.
Gestalt-Psychology and different laws including its history with the followin...KarenPO8
Gestalt psychology emerged in the early 20th century in response to behaviorism. It emphasized the importance of sensory wholes and the dynamic nature of visual perception. The key founders were Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Koffka, who studied perception and concluded that learners are active processors rather than passive receivers of information. Gestalt psychologists identified principles of perception and problem-solving including similarity, proximity, continuity, closure, figure/ground, and common region. These principles influence how we naturally group and make sense of visual elements.
Visual perception refers to how the brain makes sense of what the eyes see. Gestalt laws of perception help explain how the human eye perceives objects or visual elements as coherent wholes rather than individual parts. Some key Gestalt principles include figure-ground, which determines what is the focus versus the background; similarity, which groups like elements; proximity, which groups close elements; and closure, where the eye sees completed shapes and patterns. These principles are useful for interface design to help users quickly understand relationships and organization.
The document discusses various methods that can be used to learn information efficiently. It describes several visualization techniques like diagrams, charts, maps and other graphic organizers that can help simplify complex topics and make relationships between concepts clearer. These include fishbone diagrams, mind maps, concept maps, flowcharts, acronyms and more. It also discusses learning strategies like chunking information, teaching others, linking ideas metaphorically and turning learning into an active process of creation rather than passive absorption.
Chapter 4 Problem 31. For problem three in chapter four, a teac.docxrobertad6
Chapter 4: Problem 3
1. For problem three in chapter four, a teacher wants to display her students number of responses for each day of the week. And she wants to do that with a bar chart. Since she hasn't taken a stats class, she comes to you for help. You first enter her data into SPSS and the results look like this-- When you look at your data set, you'll see that it actually has the wrong level of measurement. Notice that there's a little Venn diagram at the top of each column, which indicates that your data has been entered as nominal. That would be correct if you were noting which day of the week a student participated, but since you're noting how often a given student participated, the correct level of measurement is a scale. Go ahead and change that. Watch how I do that. Under variable view, under measure, you just want to click each one and turn it into a scale. You can also cut and paste these, and I can show you that in another video. Once you have them changed, go back to data view, and you'll see that at the top it has changed in two little rulers. The next question is, how do I get SPSS to display the average score per day rather the total number of individual scores, which might look like a mess, and it's why this question is a toughie. To do that we go under graphs, and you'll see that you have two options, you can do a Chart Builder or a Legacy Dialog. For this question we want to use the Legacy Dialog. We go to Bar and when we click that, there are two questions-- one, what type of bar chart? We want a simple one. And then, how do you want the data in their area displayed? Do we want to summarize for the groups? We really don't. We want summary of separate variables where each day of the week is a variable. We click on Define and then here you'll see every day of the week. You want to bring that over and you see your bar charts are going to represent the mean for every day of the week. As a good habit you want to make sure you title it, I called it "Students' Engagement During Group Discussion." The second one is by day of week. We hit Continue, and then when we hit OK, you're going to see your output pop up. And here is our bar chart-- every day of the week showing the average student engagement. And this is how you answer problem 3 in chapter 4. Good luck.

5.6 Gestalt Principles of Perception
Learning Objectives
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
• Explain the figure-ground relationship
• Define Gestalt principles of grouping
• Describe how perceptual set is influenced by an individual’s characteristics and mental state
In the early part of the 20th century, Max Wertheimer published a paper demonstrating that individuals
perceived motion in rapidly flickering static images—an insight that came to him as he used a child’s toy
tachistoscope. Wertheimer, and his assistants Wolfgang Köhler and Kurt Koffka, who later became his
partners, believed that perception involved more than simply combining sensory stimuli. This belief led to
a new movement within the field of psychology known as Gestalt psychology. The word gestalt literally
means form or pattern, but its use reflects the idea that the whole is different from the sum of its parts. In
other words, the brain creates a perception that is more than simply the sum of available sensory inputs,
and it does so in predictable ways. Gestalt psychologists translated these predictable ways into principles
by which we organize sensory information. As a result, Gestalt psychology has been extremely influential
in the area of sensation and perception (Rock & Palmer, 1990).
One Gestalt principle is the figure-ground relationship. According to this principle, we tend to segment
our visual world into figure and ground. Figure is the object or person that is the focus of the visual
field, while the ground is the background. As Figure 5.23 shows, our perception can vary tremendously,
depending on what is perceived as figure and what is perceived as ground. Presumably, our ability to
interpret sensory information depends on what we label as figure and what we label as ground in any
particular case, although this assumption has been called into question (Peterson & Gibson, 1994; Vecera
& O’Reilly, 1998).
Figure 5.23 The concept of figure-ground relationship explains why this image can be perceived either as a vase or
as a pair of faces.
Another Gestalt principle for organizing sensory stimuli into meaningful perception is proximity. This
principle asserts that things that are close to one another tend to be grouped together, as Figure 5.24
illustrates.

Figure 5.24 The Gestalt principle of proximity suggests that you see (a) one block of dots on the left side and (b)
three columns on the right side.
How we read something provides another illustration of the proximity concept. For example, we read this
sentence like this, notl iket hiso rt hat. We group the letters of a given word together because there are no
spaces between the letters, and we perceive words because there are spaces between each word. Here are
some more examples: Cany oum akes enseo ft hiss entence? What doth es e wor dsmea n?

The document discusses visual perception and Gestalt principles of design. It explains that visual perception is how the brain makes sense of what the eyes see. The Gestalt laws of perception help explain how objects are perceived. Some key Gestalt principles discussed include figure-ground, similarity, proximity, continuation, closure, symmetry, and focal point. Specific examples are provided to illustrate each principle and how designers can apply them to create interfaces that are usable and help guide user attention and understanding.
The document discusses key principles of design including contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity (CRAP). It explains each principle in 1-2 sentences and provides examples. Additional concepts like the rule of thirds, balance, and Gestalt theory are also defined briefly with examples. The document encourages learning design through observation, experimentation using tools like Canva, and just starting to design.
The document discusses analyzing single variable data through shape, distribution, and outliers. It emphasizes keeping analysis simple using techniques like histograms and kernel density estimates over complex solutions. Histograms can lose information and have ambiguous bin widths and placements, while kernel density estimates provide continuous, smoother representations of the data. Understanding the problem domain and having clear goals is important before analyzing data to gain useful insights.
This document discusses analyzing data collected from an action research study. It begins by noting that data collection is optional and the researcher may be satisfied without further analysis. If analysis is desired, the document recommends breaking it into manageable pieces to produce robust results. It then discusses different types of quantitative data like numerical, ordinal, and nominal data and the appropriate statistical analyses for each. The rest of the document provides an example of analyzing survey data from a study on classroom culture using SPSS, including checking reliability and exploring factor analysis.
Effective page design is often overlooked in the development of technical information. Studies have shown that the visual design of information has an immediate and lasting visceral impact on both credibility and usability. Good page design ensures that information is easy to find, read, understand, and remember. The science of human visual perception and attention provides a foundation for understanding traditional design elements and principles, and how they can be combined to ensure high-quality, effective information development.
Presented November 28, 2018, at Quadrus Conference Center for Information Development World 2018.
This document discusses knowledge representation techniques. It begins by defining different types of knowledge like procedural, declarative, meta, and heuristic knowledge. It then discusses different knowledge representation approaches like pictures, graphs, networks, frames, rules, and semantic networks. Pictures represent structural knowledge but are difficult for computers to interpret. Graphs and networks represent relationships well. Rules relate known information to conclusions. Semantic networks use nodes for objects and arcs for relationships. Frames represent stereotypical knowledge using slots. The document also discusses formal knowledge representation techniques like facts represented as propositions, rules using antecedents and consequents, and predicate logic.
The document defines and describes 13 processes involved in scientific thinking: observation, measurement, classification, quantification, inferring, predicting, relationships, communication, interpreting data, controlling variables, operational definitions, hypothesizing, and experimenting. It provides examples and explanations of each process, emphasizing their analytical and systematic nature. Key aspects include objectively gathering data, identifying patterns and associations, reducing systems to interacting variables, and systematically evaluating hypotheses through experimentation.
This document discusses abstraction, generalization, and particularization in mathematics. It defines abstraction as extracting the underlying essence of a concept by removing real-world dependencies and generalizing it. Generalization expresses relationships between concepts that apply broadly. Particularization individualizes mathematical objects. Abstraction reduces complexity by eliminating details while generalization broadens applications. Together, these processes aid in mathematical reasoning and moving between specific and general concepts.
This document provides a tutorial on using the PyHasse software to analyze a data matrix with objects and indicators. It demonstrates loading the sample data file, viewing the Hasse diagram and other order theoretical information. It also shows how to analyze chains within the data and investigate incomparable object pairs. The tutorial emphasizes that PyHasse allows flexible exploration of order relations in the data and provides different modules for ranking, fuzzy analysis, and investigating incomparabilities.
This document discusses tree data structures and binary search trees. It begins with definitions of trees and their components like nodes, edges, and root/child relationships. It then covers tree traversals like preorder, inorder and postorder. Next, it defines binary search trees and their properties for storing and retrieving data efficiently. It provides examples of inserting, searching for, and deleting nodes from binary search trees. Searching and insertion are straightforward, while deletion has three cases depending on the number of child nodes.
The document discusses the hierarchical relationship between data, information, and knowledge. It defines each term and provides examples to illustrate the differences. Data refers to raw unorganized facts, while information is data that has been organized and given context or meaning. Knowledge builds upon information by applying it or putting it to practical use through experiences. Wisdom involves understanding fundamental principles at a deeper systemic level. The key relationship is that data becomes information when given context, and information becomes knowledge when applied or used.
This document provides an overview of unsupervised learning techniques, specifically clustering algorithms. It discusses the differences between supervised and unsupervised learning, the goal of clustering to group similar observations, and provides examples of K-Means and hierarchical clustering. For K-Means clustering, it outlines the basic steps of randomly assigning clusters, calculating centroids, and repeatedly reassigning points until clusters stabilize. It also discusses selecting the optimal number of clusters K and presents pros and cons of clustering techniques.
The k-nearest neighbors (kNN) algorithm assumes similar data points exist in close proximity. It calculates the distance between data points to determine the k nearest neighbors, where k is a user-defined value. To classify a new data point, kNN finds its k nearest neighbors and assigns the most common label from those neighbors. Choosing the right k value involves testing different k and selecting the one that minimizes errors while maintaining predictive accuracy on unseen data to avoid underfitting or overfitting. While simple to implement, kNN performance degrades with large datasets due to increased computational requirements.
The document discusses Gestalt principles of visual perception, which are theories developed in the 1920s about how people perceive the world. The key Gestalt principles are similarity, proximity, and common region. Similarity means elements that look alike are perceived to have the same function. Proximity means elements close together are perceived as more related than those farther apart. Common region means elements within the same closed area are perceived as grouped together.

particular case, although this assumption has been called into question (Peterson & Gibson, 1994; Vecera
& O’Reilly, 1998).
Figure 5.23 The concept of figure-ground relationship explains why this image can be perceived either as a vase or
as a pair of faces.
Another Gestalt principle for organizing sensory stimuli into meaningful perception is proximity. This
principle asserts that things that are close to one another tend to be grouped together, as Figure 5.24
illustrates.

Figure 5.24 The Gestalt principle of proximity suggests that you see (a) one block of dots on the left side and (b)
three columns on the right side.
How we read something provides another illustration of the proximity concept. For example, we read this
sentence like this, notl iket hiso rt hat. We group the letters of a given word together because there are no
spaces between the letters, and we perceive words because there are spaces between each word. Here are

The document discusses visual perception and Gestalt principles of design. It explains that visual perception is how the brain makes sense of what the eyes see. The Gestalt laws of perception help explain how objects are perceived. Some key Gestalt principles discussed include figure-ground, similarity, proximity, continuation, closure, symmetry, and focal point. Specific examples are provided to illustrate each principle and how designers can apply them to create interfaces that are usable and help guide user attention and understanding.
The document discusses key principles of design including contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity (CRAP). It explains each principle in 1-2 sentences and provides examples. Additional concepts like the rule of thirds, balance, and Gestalt theory are also defined briefly with examples. The document encourages learning design through observation, experimentation using tools like Canva, and just starting to design.
The document discusses analyzing single variable data through shape, distribution, and outliers. It emphasizes keeping analysis simple using techniques like histograms and kernel density estimates over complex solutions. Histograms can lose information and have ambiguous bin widths and placements, while kernel density estimates provide continuous, smoother representations of the data. Understanding the problem domain and having clear goals is important before analyzing data to gain useful insights.
This document discusses analyzing data collected from an action research study. It begins by noting that data collection is optional and the researcher may be satisfied without further analysis. If analysis is desired, the document recommends breaking it into manageable pieces to produce robust results. It then discusses different types of quantitative data like numerical, ordinal, and nominal data and the appropriate statistical analyses for each. The rest of the document provides an example of analyzing survey data from a study on classroom culture using SPSS, including checking reliability and exploring factor analysis.
Effective page design is often overlooked in the development of technical information. Studies have shown that the visual design of information has an immediate and lasting visceral impact on both credibility and usability. Good page design ensures that information is easy to find, read, understand, and remember. The science of human visual perception and attention provides a foundation for understanding traditional design elements and principles, and how they can be combined to ensure high-quality, effective information development.

This document discusses knowledge representation techniques. It begins by defining different types of knowledge like procedural, declarative, meta, and heuristic knowledge. It then discusses different knowledge representation approaches like pictures, graphs, networks, frames, rules, and semantic networks. Pictures represent structural knowledge but are difficult for computers to interpret. Graphs and networks represent relationships well. Rules relate known information to conclusions. Semantic networks use nodes for objects and arcs for relationships. Frames represent stereotypical knowledge using slots. The document also discusses formal knowledge representation techniques like facts represented as propositions, rules using antecedents and consequents, and predicate logic.
The document defines and describes 13 processes involved in scientific thinking: observation, measurement, classification, quantification, inferring, predicting, relationships, communication, interpreting data, controlling variables, operational definitions, hypothesizing, and experimenting. It provides examples and explanations of each process, emphasizing their analytical and systematic nature. Key aspects include objectively gathering data, identifying patterns and associations, reducing systems to interacting variables, and systematically evaluating hypotheses through experimentation.
This document discusses abstraction, generalization, and particularization in mathematics. It defines abstraction as extracting the underlying essence of a concept by removing real-world dependencies and generalizing it. Generalization expresses relationships between concepts that apply broadly. Particularization individualizes mathematical objects. Abstraction reduces complexity by eliminating details while generalization broadens applications. Together, these processes aid in mathematical reasoning and moving between specific and general concepts.
This document provides a tutorial on using the PyHasse software to analyze a data matrix with objects and indicators. It demonstrates loading the sample data file, viewing the Hasse diagram and other order theoretical information. It also shows how to analyze chains within the data and investigate incomparable object pairs. The tutorial emphasizes that PyHasse allows flexible exploration of order relations in the data and provides different modules for ranking, fuzzy analysis, and investigating incomparabilities.
This document discusses tree data structures and binary search trees. It begins with definitions of trees and their components like nodes, edges, and root/child relationships. It then covers tree traversals like preorder, inorder and postorder. Next, it defines binary search trees and their properties for storing and retrieving data efficiently. It provides examples of inserting, searching for, and deleting nodes from binary search trees. Searching and insertion are straightforward, while deletion has three cases depending on the number of child nodes.
The document discusses the hierarchical relationship between data, information, and knowledge. It defines each term and provides examples to illustrate the differences. Data refers to raw unorganized facts, while information is data that has been organized and given context or meaning. Knowledge builds upon information by applying it or putting it to practical use through experiences. Wisdom involves understanding fundamental principles at a deeper systemic level. The key relationship is that data becomes information when given context, and information becomes knowledge when applied or used.
This document provides an overview of unsupervised learning techniques, specifically clustering algorithms. It discusses the differences between supervised and unsupervised learning, the goal of clustering to group similar observations, and provides examples of K-Means and hierarchical clustering. For K-Means clustering, it outlines the basic steps of randomly assigning clusters, calculating centroids, and repeatedly reassigning points until clusters stabilize. It also discusses selecting the optimal number of clusters K and presents pros and cons of clustering techniques.
The k-nearest neighbors (kNN) algorithm assumes similar data points exist in close proximity. It calculates the distance between data points to determine the k nearest neighbors, where k is a user-defined value. To classify a new data point, kNN finds its k nearest neighbors and assigns the most common label from those neighbors. Choosing the right k value involves testing different k and selecting the one that minimizes errors while maintaining predictive accuracy on unseen data to avoid underfitting or overfitting. While simple to implement, kNN performance degrades with large datasets due to increased computational requirements.
Machine Learning Algorithm - Naive Bayes for ClassificationKush Kulshrestha
The document discusses Naive Bayes classification. It begins by explaining Bayes' theorem and how prior probabilities can impact classification. It then provides a candy selection example to introduce Naive Bayes, noting how assuming independence between variables (even if they are dependent) simplifies calculations. The document explains how Naive Bayes works using weather data, shows an example calculation, and lists pros and cons of the technique, such as its simplicity but limitation of assuming independence.
Logistic regression is a classification algorithm used to predict binary outcomes. It transforms predictor variable values using the sigmoid function to produce a probability value between 0 and 1. The log odds of the outcome are modeled as a linear combination of the predictor variables. Positive coefficient values increase the probability of the outcome while negative values decrease the probability. Logistic regression outputs probabilities that can be converted into binary class predictions.
Assumptions of Linear Regression - Machine LearningKush Kulshrestha
There are 5 key assumptions in linear regression analysis:
1. There must be a linear relationship between the dependent and independent variables.
2. The error terms cannot be correlated with each other.
3. The independent variables cannot be highly correlated with each other.
4. The error terms must have constant variance (homoscedasticity).
5. The error terms must be normally distributed. Violations of these assumptions can result in poor model fit or inaccurate predictions. Various tests can be used to check for violations.
The document discusses how to interpret the results of linear regression analysis. It explains that p-values indicate whether predictors significantly contribute to the model, with lower p-values meaning a predictor is meaningful. Coefficients represent the change in the response variable per unit change in a predictor. The constant/intercept is meaningless if all predictors cannot realistically be zero. Goodness-of-fit is assessed using residual plots and R-squared, though high R-squared does not guarantee a good fit. Interpretation focuses on statistically significant predictors and coefficients rather than fit metrics alone.
This document provides an overview of linear regression machine learning techniques. It introduces linear regression models using one feature and multiple features. It discusses estimating regression coefficients to minimize error and find the best fitting line. The document also covers correlation, explaining that a correlation does not necessarily indicate causation. Multiple linear regression is described as fitting a linear function to multiple predictor variables. The risks of overfitting with too complex a model are noted. Code examples of implementing linear regression in Scikit-Learn and Statsmodels are referenced.
The document provides an overview of machine learning concepts including supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms. It discusses splitting data into training and test sets, training algorithms on the training set, testing algorithms on the test set, and measuring performance. For supervised learning, it describes classification and regression tasks, the bias-variance tradeoff, and how supervised algorithms learn by minimizing a loss function. For unsupervised learning, it discusses clustering, representation learning, dimensionality reduction, and exploratory analysis use cases.
Contains different types of Data Visualizations, best practices to follow for each case and what type of visualization should be made for different kinds of datasets.
This document provides an overview of descriptive statistics. It discusses key topics including measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), measures of variability (range, IQR, variance, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis), probability and probability distributions (binomial distribution), and how descriptive statistics is used to understand and describe data. Descriptive statistics involves numerically summarizing and presenting data through methods such as graphs, tables, and calculations without inferring conclusions about a population.
Scaling transforms data values to fall within a specific range, such as 0 to 1, without changing the data distribution. Normalization changes the data distribution to be normal. Common normalization techniques include standardization, which transforms data to have mean 0 and standard deviation 1, and Box-Cox transformation, which finds the best lambda value to make data more normal. Normalization is useful for algorithms that assume normal data distributions and can improve model performance and interpretation.

How We Added Replication to QuestDB - JonTheBeachjavier ramirez
Building a database that can beat industry benchmarks is hard work, and we had to use every trick in the book to keep as close to the hardware as possible. In doing so, we initially decided QuestDB would scale only vertically, on a single instance.
A few years later, data replication —for horizontally scaling reads and for high availability— became one of the most demanded features, especially for enterprise and cloud environments. So, we rolled up our sleeves and made it happen.
Today, QuestDB supports an unbounded number of geographically distributed read-replicas without slowing down reads on the primary node, which can ingest data at over 4 million rows per second.
In this talk, I will tell you about the technical decisions we made, and their trade offs. You'll learn how we had to revamp the whole ingestion layer, and how we actually made the primary faster than before when we added multi-threaded Write Ahead Logs to deal with data replication. I'll also discuss how we are leveraging object storage as a central part of the process. And of course, I'll show you a live demo of high-performance multi-region replication in action.

2. Why do we even need Viz?
There could be datasets that appear to be similar when using typical summary statistics, yet tell different stories
when graphed.
Example, each dataset consists of eleven (x,y) pairs as follows:
3. Why do we even need Viz?
Observations:
• The average x value is 9 for each dataset.
• The average y value is 7.50 for each dataset
• The variance for x is 11 and the variance for y is 4.12
• The correlation between x and y is 0.816 for each dataset
So far these four datasets appear to be pretty similar. But when we plot these four data sets on an x/y coordinate
plane, we get the following results:
4. Why do we even need Viz?
Now we see the real relationships in the datasets start to emerge
5. Why do we even need Viz?
- Dataset I consists of a set of points that appear to follow a rough linear relationship with some variance.
- Dataset II fits a neat curve but doesn’t follow a linear relationship (maybe it’s quadratic?).
- Dataset III looks like a tight linear relationship between x and y, except for one large outlier.
- Dataset IV looks like x remains constant, except for one outlier as well.
Computing summary statistics or staring at the data wouldn’t have told us any of these stories. Instead, it’s
important to visualize the data to get a clear picture of what’s going on.
7. Cognitive Load and Clutter
Cognitive Load is the amount of mental effort required to interpret information.

8. Cognitive Load and Clutter
Intrinsic Cognitive Load
Amount of memory we need to understand an idea.
Adding 2+2 is easier, doing difficult math division is difficult. If we don’t concentrate in the latter, we end up
spending more time.
9. Cognitive Load and Clutter
Extraneous Cognitive Load
• It relates to how information is presented.
• It is the amount of extra brain power you need to understand a poorly designed Viz.
• Poor design requires more effort to identify problems and create a mental image.
10. Cognitive Load and Clutter
Germane Cognitive Load
It is a way for the brain to look for the patterns to develop context.
11. Cognitive Load and Clutter
Clutter is all the things you remove while still preserving
key ideas.
Reduce clutter to minimize user’s cognitive load
Less clutter = More effective Visualization
12. Cognitive Load and Clutter
Report of USDA’s (US Department of Agriculture)
Economic Research Department
This is a regular report put out regularly by
renowned statisticians.
13. Cognitive Load and Clutter
Things to be removed:
• 3 D effect
• Overuse of bright colors. They are drawing
attention to no specific place.
• Yellow ticker as a threshold!
• No sorting of the data?
• What is x-axis for? Unhelpful axis
14. Cognitive Load and Clutter
Why not to use 3-D?
• 3-D doesn’t improve a Visualization
• Skews information (remember Steve Jobs?)
• Adds confusion
15. Cognitive Load and Clutter
Some other tips:
• Use currency sign with the number
• Always use percent sign when
drawing percentages.
• Commas with number, whenever
number is bigger than 9999
• Use consistent scientific notation if
numbers are too big.
17. Gestalt Principles
Gestalt refers to the patterns that you perceive when presented with a few graphical elements or why we perceive
things the way we do.
These rules are important when it comes to creating data visualizations to ensure efficient, clean, informative and
correct information transfer.
Understanding gestalt is useful for improving traditional charts like bar charts and line charts.
18. Gestalt Principles - Similarity
Items that are similar are grouped together.
Visual elements similar in shape, size, colour, proximity, motion, and direction are perceived as part of a group.
Example:
We seek patterns, easily grouping the black dots into a number 4
19. Gestalt Principles - Similarity
Example:
We perceive vertical groups of squares and circles.
Example:
We perceive horizontal groups of same red/white
color elements.
20. Gestalt Principles - Similarity
Example:
We perceive green/grey colored squares as a
group.
Example:
A complex example of groups.
21. Gestalt Principles - Proximity
Objects that are close (spatially) are grouped together. The closer items are the more likely the perception they are
a group.
Example:
Instead of counting numerous distinct circles we see three “groups”.
22. Gestalt Principles - Proximity
Example:
The circles on the left appear to be grouped in vertical columns, while those on the right appear to be grouped in
the horizontal rows.
23. Gestalt Principles - Proximity
Example:
These groups appear to be separated by
color or contrast.
Proximity overpowers other signals of
distinction
24. Gestalt Principles - Continuity
Lines are seen as following smoothest path.
Example:
The eye tends to want to follow the straight line from one end of this figure to the other, and the curved line from
the top to the bottom, even when the lines change colour midway through
25. Gestalt Principles - Continuity
We perceive objects as belonging together, as part of a single whole, if they are aligned with one another or
appear to form a continuation of one another.
Example:
We tend to see the individual lines as a continuation of one another, more as a dashed line than separate lines.
26. Gestalt Principles - Continuity
Things that are aligned with one another appear to belong to the same group. In the table in Figure 4-17, it is
obvious which items are division names and which are department names, based on their distinct alignment.
Divisions, departments, and headcounts are clearly grouped, without any need for vertical grid lines to delineate
them. Even though the division and department columns overlap with no white space in between, their distinct
alignment alone makes them easy to distinguish.
27. Gestalt Principles - Closure
Humans have a keen dislike for loose ends. The principle of closure asserts that we perceive open structures as
closed, complete, and regular whenever there is a way that we can reasonably do so.
Example:
The Gestalt principle of closure explains why we see these as closed shapes, despite the fact that they are not
finished.
28. Gestalt Principles - Closure
Example:
We can apply this tendency to perceive whole structures in dashboards, especially in the design of graphs. For
example, we can group objects (points, lines, or bars in a graph, etc.) into visual regions without the use of
complete borders or background colours to define the space.
This is good and required so that we can reduce the clutter.
The Gestalt principle of closure also explains why only two axes, rather than full enclosure, are required on a graph
to define the space in which the data appears.
30. Gestalt Principles - Connectedness
Elements that are visually connected are perceived as more related than the elements with no connection.
Example:
The Gestalt principle of closure explains why we see these as closed shapes, despite the fact that they are not
finished.
31. Gestalt Principles - Connectedness
Example:
Even though the spacing and the color is consistent within this collection of elements, those inside of the
connecting lines are perceived to be more related than the rest.
As are the ones connected by the lines..
32. Gestalt Principles - Connectedness
Example:
And it is more powerful than proximity and similarity.
33. Brain Memory

Short Term
Long Term
Pre-Attentive Attributes of a Visualization
Three types of memories we can influence:
We want to get something in readers brain without them even to think about it.
Why?
This decreases the cognitive load while conveying the information so that there is not much work to be done by
the brain to understand.
35. Pre-Attentive Attributes of a Visualization
Example: Now count the total number of 4’s in the figure. See the difference?
36. Pre-Attentive Attributes of a Visualization
Good visualization
allow users to see what
we want them to see
