Ever-increasing specialization within the field often makes it difficult to discern the common roots from which the field of psychology has evolved. By exploring this shared past, students will be better able to understand how psychology has developed into the discipline we know today.

The word gestalt means form or pattern, but its use reflects the idea that the whole is different from the sum of its parts. In other words, the brain creates a perception that is more than simply the sum of available sensory inputs, and it does so in predictable ways. Gestalt psychologists translated these predictable ways into principles by which we organize sensory information.

Figure is the object or person that is the focus of the visual field, while the ground is the background. The Gestalt principle of proximity suggests that you see (a) one block of dots on the left side and (b) three columns on the right side. Gestalt Psychology: field of psychology based on the idea that the whole is different from the sum of its parts

Key principles like figure-ground relationship, proximity, similarity, good continuation, and closure explain how sensory data is organized. These principles demonstrate that perceptions, influenced by personal characteristics and biases, are not flawless.

Insight problems often involve sudden realizations, known as "AHA-experiences," and are difficult to predict. These problems often necessitate restructuring of thought and can sometimes be solved with hints. In contrast, non-insight problems, like arithmetic, use step-by-step schemas for solutions.
