Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Figure-ground relationships refer to the way in which we perceive objects or figures on a background. This is often described as a "gestalt," or whole, perception, in which the figure is seen as distinct from the background in which it is located. The other choices are related to other principles of perception, such as closure (B), proximity (C), and continuity (D).
