Question 1

For years you have all been walking through the halls of Harrison High School.  Give me three specific examples of how Gestalt psychological concepts of grouping (proximity, similarity, continuity, connectedness and closure) have effected the way you thought about your peers.

Question 2

You want to play a trick on your best friend and make him/her think that they have gone a little loony.  Using what you know about depth perception (monocular cues) give me three tricks that you could play on him/her that would throw their perception of reality into a spin (tell me how you would use each particular monocular cue you choose).

Question 3

Think about any teacher in the school that you have this year.  Tell me how the concept of a perceptual set effects the way you think about that teacher and put forth effort into the class.  Tell me how you first formed your mental predisposition and then how you may have erred in your thinking (or how and why your perceptual set was correct).
