Psychology / Unit 4 Psych 0470 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Grouping in a Page of Text
Captions available
The idea
On a page of text, proximity determines paragraph boundaries and continuity determines that a line is read as one line.
In practice
A wider gap between two lines converts them into two paragraphs with no other change made.
Where people slip
Grouping runs before reading. Layout decides what the eye takes as a unit before any word is recognized.
