GESTALT

The German term Gestalt, referring to how a thing has been "put together" (gestellt), is often translated as "pattern" or "configuration" in psychology. Its precepts, formulated as a reaction against the atomistic orientation of previous theories, emphasized that the whole of anything is different from the sum of its parts: organisms tend to perceive entire patterns or configurations rather than bits and pieces.

Examples:


"Similarity Size"


"Similarity Shape"


"proximity combine"


"proximity overlap"




"continuance"
