ABSTRACT:
All basic Gestalt principles (similarity, proximity, good continuation etc.) are supposed to help to recognize the organization of the image, i.e. divide the image in appropriate parts. In most cases "good continuation" is applied to a line, so it is a "good continuation of the line". The only reasonable interpretation of the term "continuation" is if "continuation" is applied not to the given image, but to the imaginable process of creating a line. The "good continuation" principle – one of the basic principles of Gestalt psychology – assumes that perception of a drawing includes the imaginable process of recreating (or imitating) the object. We will apply this interpretation of the "good continuation" principle – let's call it the "imitation principle" – to examples of drawings used by Wertheimer, Köhler, and Arnheim. We will discuss also the application of the "imitation principle" to technology problems (object identification, handwriting recognition, and geology) and to art analysis.
