Similarity

Have you ever noticed how you automatically group things that are similar together without even meaning to group them? Your brain does this because of a rule of perception called similarity. Similarity is the grouping of similar things together even if they are not exactly the same.  

An example of similarity is that you realize that all of the items in the picture below are books even though they are all varying in size and shape; your brain recognizes that they are similar and groups them as such.
