Explanation:

• Question 3: Figure - ground relationships refer to the tendency to perceive objects (figures) as standing out from their surroundings (ground). In this case, Bryanna and Charles (the figures) stand out against the dance floor (the ground).
• Question 4: Retinal disparity is the difference in the images cast by an object on the retinas of the two eyes. Since the left and right eyes are in different positions, they receive slightly different views of the same object.
• Question 5: Grouping is the process of organizing stimuli into meaningful groups or wholes. Gestalt psychologists emphasized that the whole (the organized group) is different from the sum of its parts.

Answer:

• 3. e. figure - ground relationships
• 4. a. Retinal disparity
• 5. a. grouping
