Biederman's Law is a principle in psychology that suggests people tend to perceive objects as whole forms rather than as a collection of individual parts. This concept emphasizes the importance of recognizing familiar shapes and patterns, which helps in understanding and interpreting visual information quickly. The law is named after Irving Biederman, a psychologist known for his work in visual perception. He proposed that our brains use a system of "geons," or basic geometric shapes, to identify and categorize objects. This process allows us to efficiently recognize complex images by breaking them down into simpler components.
