Gestalt psychology is a newer and increasingly popular field of psychology. It emphasizes the interconnectedness and wholeness of mental processes, including perception, attention, learning, and memory. It also stresses the importance of the environment and cultural context in shaping these processes. Gestalt psychology is often contrasted with other forms of psychology, such as behaviorism, which tends to focus more on isolated and linear processes. Overall, gestalt psychology offers a nuanced and comprehensive approach to understanding human behavior and mental processes.

Gestalt psychology is a field of study that deals with the way humans perceive and organize visual information. The word "gestalt" comes from the German word for "formed whole," and it refers to the tendency of the human brain to perceive patterns and relationships even when individual elements are ambiguous. Gestalt theory emphasizes the role of context and environment in shaping perception, and it suggests that we tend to perceive objects and events as parts of a larger whole rather than as isolated units. Some common principles of gestalt psychology include the principles of figure-ground, closure, similarity, continuity, and common fate.
