Laws of perceptual organization are series of rules proposed by the Gestalt psychologists that specify how people organize small parts into wholes. Some of these laws are common fate, familiarity, good continuation, good figure, nearness, and similarity. Most of these laws were originally proposed by the Gestalt psychologists, but modern researchers have proposed some additional laws
