Similarity

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The principle of similarity states that elements resembling one another are perceived as belonging to one group.

Show

Alternating rows of circles and squares are seen as rows, even when the columns are more tightly spaced.

Watch for

Similarity can override proximity, and proximity can override similarity. Which wins depends on degree.
