Answer:
THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTINUITY.
Explanation:
Perceptual organization can be defined as how smaller objects are grouped to form larger ones. Six principles were developed to explain this. These principles are also called laws of perceptual organization. One of the principles is the principle or law of continuity.
The law of continuity holds that points that are connected by straight or curving lines are seen in a way that follows the smoothest path. Rather than seeing separate lines and angles, lines are seen as belonging together.
The law of continuity suggests that we are more likely to perceive continuous, smooth flowing lines rather than jagged, broken lines (disconnected lines).
Therefore, The Gestalt perceptual organization principle that reflects the tendency to perceive smooth, continuous patterns rather than disconnected patterns is the principle of CONTINUITY.
