The principles by which the process of perceptual organization works was first identified by Max Wertheimer in the year __________.
1923
This is a factual question about the history of Gestalt psychology and the year in which the principles of perceptual organisation were first set out by Max Wertheimer.
Max Wertheimer was a founder of the Gestalt school, which holds that the mind organises separate sensory elements into meaningful wholes rather than perceiving them piecemeal. In 1923 he published his influential formulation of the laws of perceptual grouping - principles such as proximity, similarity, closure, continuity and common fate - that explain how we spontaneously group visual stimuli into organised patterns.
The other years offered - 1918, 1924 and 1933 - do not correspond to this landmark work on perceptual organisation, so they are distractors. The accepted date for Wertheimer's statement of these grouping principles is 1923.
Hence Max Wertheimer first identified these principles in the year 1923.
