Abstract

Abstract The Gestalt principle of closure refers to our brain filling in missing information to perceive objects as complete, even partially hidden. Designers leverage this principle to imply shapes without explicitly showing them. However, evaluating viewer responses poses challenges. A comprehensive eye-tracking experiment was conducted to determine when viewers mentally complete a gap in a circle and explore the potential influence of the golden ratio on the closure principle. The golden ratio, approximately 1.618, is associated with visual harmony and is used in art and design for pleasing proportions. Findings showed that viewers tend to mentally close gaps up to 135 degrees but avoid closure beyond 150 degrees. This suggests the golden ratio's relevance in applying the closure principle to design.

格式塔闭合原理对观察者依从性的眼动追踪研究:间隙大小和黄金比例的影响分析

格式塔闭合原理指的是我们的大脑填充缺失的信息，以感知完整的物体，甚至部分隐藏的物体。设计师利用这一原则来暗示形状，而不显式地显示它们。然而，评估观众的反应带来了挑战。我们进行了一项全面的眼球追踪实验，以确定观看者何时在心理上完成一个圆的缝隙，并探索黄金比例对闭合原理的潜在影响。黄金比例约为1.618，与视觉和谐有关，在艺术和设计中用于令人愉悦的比例。调查结果显示，观看者倾向于在心理上关闭135度的间隔，但避免关闭超过150度的间隔。这表明黄金分割在封闭性原则应用于设计中的相关性。

期刊介绍： Leonardo was founded in 1968 in Paris by kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina. Malina saw the need for a journal that would serve as an international channel of communication between artists, with emphasis on the writings of artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. Today, Leonardo is the leading journal for readers interested in the application of contemporary science and technology to the arts.
