Proximity principle suggests that we form relationships based upon geographical closeness however does not account for facial recognition abilities directly related ethnicity groups

The spotlight effect causes overestimation about how much others notice our appearance leading to less attention paid toward other ethnic groups.

Own-race bias stems from more exposure and interaction within one's racial group leading to better recognition skills for those faces.

Conformity pressure leads individuals within collectivist societies often adhere strictly societal norms including limited engagement with outgroup members.

Objects in close proximity appear grouped together.

Brighter objects appear nearer than dimmer objects.

Similar objects are perceived as grouped together.

Unconnected or related pieces of information are grouped to form a coherent, organized whole.

It processes information from sensory receptors to the brain.

It facilitates color perception.

It allows us to interpret what we see based on context and experience.

It helps identify lines and shapes.

They necessitate that we begin by analyzing color and light intensity before forming recognition patterns.

They require us to focus first on specific detail before understanding the whole picture.

They allow us to interpret what we see by using our knowledge, experience, and context.

They depend solely on retinal disparity to derive understanding of scenes.

It doesn't account for color vision.

The model can't explain peripheral vision.

It is based on outdated neuroscientific research.

It fails to consider top-down processes in visual perception.

It provides cues about distance based on differing views from each eye.

It contributes to our ability to detect motion.

It allows us to perceive color differences.

It helps us adjust focus for objects at varying distances.
