| | Gestalt psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Gestalt psychology (also Gestalt theory of the Berlin School) is a theory of mind and brain that proposes that the operational principle of the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies. |
 | | The classic Gestalt example is a soap bubble, whose spherical shape is not defined by a rigid template, or a mathematical formula, but rather it emerges spontaneously by the parallel action of surface tension acting at all points in the surface simultaneously. |
 | | The dog is not recognized by first identifying its parts, (feet, ears, nose, tail, etc.) and then inferring the dog from those component parts, but rather, the dog is perceived as a whole, all at once. |
