In psychology, a "geon" refers to a simple geometric object or shape that is used in the study of object recognition. The term is derived from "geometric icon," and it plays a significant role in theories of visual perception, particularly in the context of how humans and other animals recognize and categorize objects in their environment. Geons are basic three-dimensional shapes, such as cylinders, cones, blocks, and spheres, that can be combined to form more complex objects.
