One basic principle is figure-ground relationship. 0ur first perceptual task is to perceive any object called thefigure as distinct from its surrounding called the ground.

- The words that you are writing are the figure and whiteboard is the ground
- The figure is normally in front of the ground and dominates consciousness and is more memorable than the ground
