• Distance of movement and width of the target

• Age of the user and distance of movement

What does the Gestalt Law of Proximity state

• The mind separates the visual field into the foreground and the background

• Perceive smooth continuous patterns as one rather than disjointed and interrupted ones.

• Elements that appear similar are perceived as one unit.

• Objects appearing closed together in space or time tend to be perceived together.

Why is it recommended to design interfaces that promote recognition rather than recall?

• Because recognition is less efficient for memory tasks.

• Because recognition is faster and easier than recall
