Wolfgang Köhler discusses the concept of gestalt psychology, which views wholes as more than the sum of their parts. According to gestalt psychology, the parts of a whole can only be understood in relation to the entire configuration or form. Perception and learning are also active processes influenced both by inner mental forces and outer environmental forces on an individual.

Gestalt Psychology
Gestalt psychology was seen as an alternative to behaviorism and structuralism. The early Gestalt thinkers felt that behaviorism dealt too much with collecting, tallying, and treating only specific problems, or parts of a whole.
Final
Gestalt psychology studies how people perceive whole forms and patterns. Key theorists like Kohler, Wertheimer, and Koffka believed perception is an active process influenced by past experiences. They identified principles like proximity, similarity, closure, and simplicity that guide how we perceive grouped objects. Kohler's experiments with apes demonstrated insight learning, where subjects solved problems by suddenly understanding solutions rather than gradual reinforcement. Gestalt principles not only influence perception but also learning, with inner drives and outer social forces shaping an individual's understanding.
Carl rogers
Carl Rogers was an American psychologist who developed client-centered therapy. He believed that people have a natural tendency towards self-actualization. Rogers viewed personality as consisting of three components - self-worth, self-image, and ideal self. He argued that for healthy psychological development, individuals need unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and empathy from important figures. When these needs are met, people can reduce incongruence between their real and ideal selves, moving towards congruence and fulfilling their potential. Critics argue Rogers was too optimistic about human nature and did not adequately address human capacity for evil.
Vygotsky Theory
Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist who developed the sociocultural theory of cognitive development, which emphasizes how social interaction and culture impact cognitive development. He believed that community plays a central role in the process of "making meaning." A key concept is the Zone of Proximal Development, which is a child's potential development when aided by a more knowledgeable other such as a teacher or peer. Vygotsky argued that optimal learning occurs in the Zone of Proximal Development through guided collaboration with others.
Week 4 Cognitive
The document discusses several cognitive learning theories, including Gestalt theory and Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Some key points:
1) Gestalt theory proposes that learning occurs through insight and restructuring experiences into meaningful wholes rather than discrete parts. Kohler's experiments with apes demonstrated insightful learning.
2) Koffka's concept of memory trace links past and present experiences, with stronger traces influencing future problem-solving.
3) Piaget's stages of cognitive development describe how children's thinking abilities develop from sensorimotor to preoperational to concrete operational stages as they progress from birth to age 11.
Behaviorism Powerpoint
This document discusses the theory of behaviorism. It explains that behaviorism focuses on how environmental stimuli shape observable behaviors through conditioning principles without regard to mental processes. The two types of conditioning are operant conditioning, where behaviors are reinforced or punished, and classical conditioning, where a reflex response becomes associated with a neutral stimulus. Key figures who contributed to behaviorism include Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, B.F. Skinner, and Albert Bandura. The document also provides examples of how teachers can apply behaviorism in their classrooms through reinforcement and punishment.
Vygotsky\'s Theory of Cognitive Development
Lev Vygotsky believed that cognitive development is primarily shaped by social and cultural factors. He rejected the idea of fixed developmental stages and instead focused on the mechanisms that drive development. Vygotsky argued that higher mental functions originate through social interactions and language use before becoming internalized. A key concept is the Zone of Proximal Development, which represents the gap between what a child can do independently and what they can do with guidance. Within the ZPD, instruction can promote cognitive growth.
Cognitive perspectives
Cognitivism is a psychological approach that focuses on mental processes like thinking, perceiving, remembering, and problem solving. It emerged in the 1960s as a reaction against behaviorism, emphasizing internal mental states instead of just stimuli and responses. Key figures in cognitivism include Piaget, who studied cognitive development in children, and Chomsky, who argued that language acquisition is innate. Cognitivism views learning as relating new information to prior knowledge and believes teaching should include cognitive functions between stimulus and response.

Behaviorism theory
Major theorists in behaviorism include John B. Watson, Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, B.F. Skinner, and Clark Hull. Behaviorism is based on the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning, and can be studied systematically through interaction with the environment without consideration of internal mental states. The two major types of conditioning are classical conditioning, involving learned associations between stimuli, and operant conditioning, where behaviors are associated with consequences like rewards and punishments.
Behaviourism.ppt
This descriptive ppt on Behaviorism will help to take the knowledge in crux. It includes how the behaviorism came into fame after the fall of Psychology and goals of behaviorism. It includes the brief contribution of Watson and B.F Skinner two leading forces of Behaviorism. It includes classical conditioning, S-R relationship,it also includes operant conditioning. It also states about the criticism of Behaviorism.
Piaget
Jean Piaget was a developmental psychologist who studied how children's cognitive abilities develop. He identified 4 stages of cognitive development: sensorimotor (birth to age 2), preoperational (ages 2 to 7), concrete operational (ages 7 to 11), and formal operational (ages 11 and up). Each stage is characterized by developing new cognitive abilities through the processes of assimilation, accommodation, and equilibration as the child adapts to their environment. Piaget's theory provides insights into how children's thinking evolves as they mature.
Carl roger theory of personality
The document discusses Carl Rogers's theory of personality. It explains that Rogers believed that individuals have an innate drive for self-actualization. Rogers also felt that psychological adjustment occurs when one's self-concept is congruent with their experiences. The document outlines Rogers's views on the organism, phenomenal field, self, congruity and incongruity. It also discusses Rogers's concepts of self-actualization and the development of self without rigid stages. The theory focused on a person-centered therapeutic approach of empathy, positive regard and openness.
Cognitive and language development
Cognitive development refers to how children learn to think and reason through actively exploring their environment, trying new ideas, and observing the results. Jean Piaget identified four stages of cognitive development - sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational - which show how children's thinking skills progress from learning through senses alone to abstract thought. Lev Vygotsky emphasized that social interaction plays a key role in children's cognitive growth, as adults provide scaffolding to support children's developing skills. Cognitive development involves changes in thinking, reasoning, and understanding related to age and experience. Adults foster cognitive growth by encouraging children's natural curiosity and allowing them to construct their own knowledge.
Allport’s trait theory of personality
Gordon Allport developed one of the earliest theories of personality traits. He focused on the uniqueness of each individual and how their traits are shaped by present contexts rather than past history. Allport identified three levels of traits: cardinal traits that dominate a person's behavior, central traits that describe basic characteristics found in most people, and secondary traits that only appear in certain situations. Allport developed a list of over 4,500 trait words and believed traits could be observed and used to distinguish individuals' personalities.
Martin Heidegger - Existentialism
Martin Heidegger was a German philosopher known as the "Father of Existential Phenomenology." He viewed human beings (Dasein) as "being-in-the-world" and proposed a three-fold structure of Dasein consisting of state of being, understanding, and discourse. He also discussed the concepts of "throwness" and "the nothing" as fundamental to understanding Dasein. Additionally, he believed that most people live in a "fallen" state where they have forgotten they are alive and free, and proposed an existential journey from "inauthenticity" to "authenticity" through an awareness of our inevitable death.
Gestalt psychology
Gestalt psychology views the mind and behavior holistically rather than as a collection of parts. It proposes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The key principles of Gestalt psychology are figure-ground, proximity, closure, similarity, continuation, and symmetry. While influential in its time, Gestalt psychology has been criticized for being too descriptive and lacking predictive power and explanations of emotion and personality.
Introduction to educational psychology
Educational psychology is the branch of psychology that studies how people learn in educational settings, both in and out of school. It aims to apply psychological insights and principles to understand and improve educational practice. Some key areas it covers are understanding learners, selecting learning experiences, teaching techniques and strategies, creating effective learning environments, and evaluating learning outcomes. It provides a scientific basis and practical guidance to help learners acquire knowledge and skills through satisfactory educational experiences.
vygotsky sociocultural theory hachelle report.pptx
Vygotsky developed the Sociocultural Theory of Development which emphasizes the influence of social interactions and culture on cognitive development. According to Vygotsky, effective learning occurs through social activities where more knowledgeable others like parents and teachers provide assistance and guidance to help children progress from what they can do independently to what they can do with support. This zone between a child's actual and potential development is called the Zone of Proximal Development.
William James' Functionalism
A presentation about William James' psychological school of thought known as Functionalism. These slides explain functionalism in a very easy language. They are pleasant to look at and fun to present while sticking to the concept.
Cognitive development presentation
This document provides an overview of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. It discusses Piaget's biography and research work. Some key points:
- Piaget proposed that children progress through 4 main stages of cognitive development - sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.
- He believed that cognitive development is driven by biological maturation and interaction with the environment through processes of assimilation, accommodation, and equilibration.
- Each stage is characterized by different types of thought processes and ways of understanding logical concepts. Piaget's work has greatly influenced research on child development but also has some limitations.
Vygotsky
Vygotsky's sociocultural theory posits that cognitive development occurs through social interaction and is mediated by language and culture. It emphasizes how learning occurs in the Zone of Proximal Development through collaboration with more knowledgeable others. According to the theory, higher order thinking develops first on a social level through interaction, then on an individual level. The implications for education include using strategies like scaffolding that support student learning within their ZPD.
Cognitive perspective report
This document discusses several cognitive theories of learning and perception, including:
- Field Theory (Lewin), which views behavior as influenced by both internal and external factors in a person's "life space."
- Insight Learning (Kohler), where solutions to problems are realized suddenly rather than through trial and error. Kohler's experiments with chimpanzees demonstrated insight learning.
- Information Processing Theory, Gestalt Principles of perception, and other cognitive concepts related to how humans acquire, perceive, remember, and communicate information.
Cognitive development Piaget
This document provides an overview of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. It discusses Piaget's key concepts including schemas, assimilation, accommodation, equilibration, and his four stages of cognitive development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. The sensorimotor stage involves developing object permanence through sensory experiences and motor skills. In the preoperational stage, children use symbols and language but cannot yet use logic. During the concrete operational stage, children develop logical thought processes.
Language development in children
Language development begins early in life through acquiring language from those speaking around infants. Children's language moves from simple to complex, starting without words but developing the ability to discriminate speech sounds by age 4 months. By their second birthday, toddlers use structures like action+agent and action+object, and they begin to interpret the subject+verb+object structure of English. Preschoolers actively analyze language, formulating rules and hypotheses to continue learning more complex structures and vocabulary.
Vygotsky’s theories
Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist who developed theories about cognitive development between 1896-1934. He believed that social interaction and language play a fundamental role in cognitive development. Vygotsky proposed that learning occurs in the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), which is the difference between what a child can do independently and what they can do with guidance from a More Knowledgeable Other (MKO). Private speech, or self-talk, helps children plan activities and strategies to aid their development according to Vygotsky.
Language in cognitive psychology
1) The document discusses various topics related to language processing and cognition, including speech perception, word and sentence comprehension, reading, and discourse.
2) Key aspects of language covered include its properties, basic components of words and sentences, understanding meaning and syntax, and lexical and comprehension processes in reading.
3) Theories of speech perception such as categorical perception and the motor theory are examined, as are models of reading such as the interactive-activation model of lexical access. Representing text through propositional structures and mental models is also addressed.
Behaviorism in Psychology
Behaviorism is a theory of learning that states all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment. It focuses only on observable behaviors and their relationship to environmental stimuli. The two major types of conditioning are classical and operant conditioning. Operant conditioning involves reinforcing or punishing behaviors to increase or decrease their frequency. B.F. Skinner significantly expanded on operant conditioning principles through his research. Behaviorism provided a scientific framework for psychology but was later criticized for ignoring internal mental states.

The document summarizes key aspects of Gestalt psychology, founded by Wolfgang Köhler, Max Wertheimer, and Kurt Koffka. It describes their work studying perception and insights, including experiments where apes solved problems. Gestalt principles like proximity, similarity, closure and good continuation were proposed to explain visual perception. Kurt Lewin also contributed by describing inner and outer forces influencing perception. The relevance of Gestalt psychology to education is discussed as focusing on experience, complexity, and autonomy in learning.
Gestalt LEARNING THEORY SULTAN THE MONKEY
Gestalt psychology studies perception and proposes that individuals are active learners who restructure information rather than passively collecting it. The key principles of Gestalt psychology are proximity, similarity, closure, good continuation, good pragnanz (simplicity), and figure/ground. Wolfgang Kohler's experiments with apes demonstrated insight learning, where apes were able to solve problems by coordinating their thinking to create new solutions. Gestalt principles influence both perception and learning. Kurt Lewin's life space theory adhered to Gestalt psychology and proposed that inner motivations and outer forces like teachers and peers impact perception and learning.

Gestalt Psychology
Gestalt psychology focuses on how the brain organizes and makes sense of visual elements based on principles like proximity, similarity, closure, and figure-ground perception. The founders of Gestalt psychology were Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Koffka in Germany in the early 20th century. They emphasized that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that perception involves seeing patterns and relationships rather than just individual elements. Gestalt principles can be applied to instructional design to maximize learning by organizing content in ways that are easy for the brain to process visually.
Gestalt presentation
The Gestalt Theory proposes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It focuses on studying phenomenological experience as a whole rather than its individual parts. According to Gestalt psychologists, our perception organizes sensory elements into meaningful wholes or "Gestalten" based on principles like proximity, similarity, closure and figure-ground perception. This holistic approach to learning across subjects aims to make concepts more coherent and meaningful for learners.
Gestalt Psychology
Gestalt therapy aims to help clients become aware of themselves and take responsibility for their choices. It focuses on experiencing thoughts and feelings in the present moment rather than past issues. Therapeutic experiments are designed collaboratively between the counselor and client to help the client gain awareness, make choices, and integrate themselves. Some techniques include role playing, dream work, and confronting different parts of oneself. The goal is for clients to fully experience their present realities and accept responsibility for themselves.
Gestalt Psychology
Gestalt theory proposes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It was developed in the early 20th century by German psychologists Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Koffka who argued that learning involves actively organizing and making sense of information rather than passively receiving it. The Gestalt laws of perception describe how humans naturally perceive visual elements as grouped patterns and shapes.
Gestalt Theory
Gestalt theory proposes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It describes several "laws" of perceptual organization that the human brain uses to interpret visual elements as unified wholes or patterns. The key laws include: figure/ground relationships, symmetry, proximity, similarity, good continuation, closure, and Prägnanz (the tendency for simplicity and regularity). According to Gestalt theory, these principles guide how we group separate parts into meaningful forms and shapes.
Gestalt Psychology By R.Khalili
Gestalt psychology emphasizes that the whole of anything is greater than the sum of its parts. It was introduced in contrast to structuralism, which claimed complex perceptions could be understood by breaking them into smaller parts. According to Gestalt theory, the nervous system tends to group objects that are nearby, similar, form smooth lines or shapes we can recognize. Some key Gestalt laws of organization include figure/ground, closure, proximity, continuity, and similarity. Wolfgang Kohler studied insight learning in apes through experiments involving using boxes and sticks to solve problems. Gestalt psychology views learning in a holistic way rather than through reinforcement, focusing on creative thought and coordination of thinking to create new organizations.
Gestalt Psychology Report
Gestalt therapy is a form of psychotherapy developed in the 1940s by Fritz Perls that focuses on self-awareness and understanding one's present experiences. It uses creative techniques like role-playing, dialogue, and dream analysis to help clients gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The goal is to understand how one's mind, body, and soul interact with their current situation to potentially resolve issues and achieve their full potential. Key concepts include emphasizing direct experiences in the present moment, treating clients with respect, and developing the client-therapist relationship.
Gestalt Presentation
This document discusses the theory of Gestalt aesthetics, which examines how humans perceive patterns and meaning in visual elements. It covers the historical origins and key principles of Gestalt psychology, including the law of Pragnanz, how perception relates to emotion and cognition, and how reception and interpretation shape artistic works. The main goal of Gestalt aesthetics is to define how viewers perceive similarity, continuity, closure, equilibrium, and assimilation in images.
Gestalt
This document discusses Gestalt theory and its implications in educational psychology. It summarizes key concepts from Gestalt psychology including that it views perception and learning as holistic processes. It outlines some of the main Gestalt factors or principles that influence how people organize visual elements, including proximity, similarity, closure, and figure-ground effect. It also briefly describes some classic Gestalt studies on visual perception and insight learning in apes.
Gestalt Theory
Gestalt theory proposes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It describes 9 laws of perceptual organization that govern how humans visually group elements into meaningful patterns or objects. The laws include principles like proximity, similarity, closure, and past experiences. Gestalt psychologists sought to understand principles of perception independent of cultural influences.
PSYA2 - The Behaviourist Approach
The behaviorist approach assumes that all human behavior is learned through conditioning experiences with the environment. Classical conditioning involves learning through associations, like Pavlov's dogs learning to associate food with a bell. Operant conditioning involves learning through consequences of actions, where behaviors are reinforced through reward or punishment. Behaviorists like Watson, Pavlov, and Skinner conducted experiments demonstrating how conditioning shapes behavior, influencing fields like education and phobia treatment. Their focus on observable and measurable behavior helped establish psychology as a science.
Approaches to Psychology
The document outlines the history and evolution of psychology as a field from its establishment in the late 19th century to modern approaches. It notes key figures like Wundt, Freud, Watson, and Skinner and their founding of new perspectives. Modern psychology incorporates diverse approaches including behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, humanistic, neurobiological, evolutionary, and sociocultural views. Research methods like experimental, descriptive, and correlational aim to test theories, describe behaviors, and predict outcomes.

This document discusses insightful learning, also known as insight learning. Insightful learning involves understanding relationships between parts of a problem rather than trial and error. Wolfgang Kohler conducted experiments observing insightful learning in animals. Insightful learning can result in an "aha moment" or "eureka" experience. It depends on factors like intelligence, learning situation, and initial efforts. Insightful learning involves higher mental processes and sudden understanding, while trial and error learning is gradual habit formation through chance. Kohler's experiment showed insightful learning results from perceiving relationships and restructuring perceptions to find solutions.
Gestalt Laws and Design
The document discusses Gestalt psychology principles and how they can be applied to instructional design. It explains that Gestalt psychologists study how people make sense of visual stimuli and perceive shapes and forms. The document outlines several Gestalt laws of proximity, similarity, closure, and others. It argues that following Gestalt principles in screen design can help maximize learning by creating an aesthetically pleasing and coherent visual presentation according to how the human brain naturally perceives and groups visual information.
psychoanalytic theory
Sigmund Freud developed psychoanalysis and its fundamental assumptions include that unconscious factors motivate behavior, early childhood experiences shape personality, and unconscious motives and conflicts are central. His basic concepts include human nature being determined by unconscious drives, instincts being life instincts and death instincts, and the structural theory of personality comprising the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. Defense mechanisms like repression are employed by the ego to reduce anxiety from unconscious conflicts. Psychoanalysis aims to make the unconscious conscious through techniques like free association, dream analysis, and interpretation of transference.
Theories of Learning
This document outlines several major theories of learning in psychology, including:
1) Behaviorism, which focuses on observable behaviors and conditioning.
2) Cognitivism, which views learning as connecting symbols mentally.
3) Social Learning Theory, which emphasizes learning through observation and imitation of models.
4) Social Constructivism, where knowledge is actively constructed through social and contextualized processes.
5) Multiple Intelligences Theory, which proposes individuals possess different types of intelligences.
6) Brain-Based Learning, which is informed by neuroscience and principles like emotional engagement.
The document compares key aspects of each theory and critiques their implications for classroom practice.
Learning theories 1
1) The document outlines several theories of learning including classical conditioning by Pavlov involving associating a neutral stimulus with a reflex, operant conditioning by Skinner involving reinforcement of behaviors, social learning by Bandura involving observational learning, and insightful learning involving problem solving.
2) Clinical applications of these theories include the development of fears through classical conditioning, using reinforcement schedules in token economies for behavior modification, and making diagnoses through selectively encoding, comparing, and combining information.
3) Other concepts discussed include latent learning, Vygotsky's zone of proximal development involving learning with guidance, and Lewin's field theory emphasizing the interaction between individuals and their environment in influencing behavior.
Theories of Learning
The document discusses several theories of learning, including:
1) Behaviorist theories proposed by Pavlov, Watson, and Skinner which view learning as stimulus-response associations that are reinforced through repetition.
2) Constructivist theories which see learning as an active process where learners construct new understanding based on their existing knowledge and experiences.
3) Social constructivism and theorists like Vygotsky who emphasized that learning occurs through social interaction and collaboration with others.
4) Evidence from cognitive development and neuroscience that supports constructivist and social constructivist views of learning from an early age.

History of Management
The document outlines the evolution of management thought from the classical era through modern approaches. It discusses how the Industrial Revolution led to new management challenges and the rise of "captains of industry". Scientific management pioneered by Taylor emphasized efficiency. The human relations movement studied social factors in work and the Hawthorne studies influenced this. Later approaches included systems thinking, contingency theory based on situational factors, and a focus on quality. McGregor proposed Theory X and Theory Y models of managerial assumptions about human motivation.

Item Analysis and Validation
1) The document discusses the process of item analysis and validation for tests, which includes a try-out phase, item analysis phase to determine difficulty level, and item revision phase.
2) Two important characteristics analyzed are item difficulty, expressed as a percentage of students answering correctly, and the discrimination index which evaluates if items can differentiate between higher and lower performing students.
3) Formulas and interpretation guidelines are provided to evaluate item difficulty, discrimination index, and reliability. The purpose is to determine a test's overall validity and reliability.
Test Technique
This document discusses various dimensions for classifying language tests:
1. Direct versus indirect testing, with direct testing measuring productive skills like speaking and writing, while indirect tests measure underlying abilities through other means.
2. Discrete point versus integrative testing, with discrete point exams testing individual grammar points, while integrative exams require combining multiple language elements.
3. Norm-referenced versus criterion-referenced testing, with norm-referenced exams interpreting scores based on peer performance, while criterion-referenced tests assess performance against predetermined standards.
The document also discusses the difference between objective exams with single right answers, versus subjective exams involving human judgment of factors like composition quality.
Elements of news
This document outlines elements that make an effective news story. It identifies 14 elements: conflict, immediacy, proximity, prominence, significance, names, drama, oddity, romance and adventure, sex, progress, animals, number, and emotion. These elements include things like conflict, prominent people, significance to readers lives, drama, unusual events, romance, and emotional human interest stories. Effective news stories incorporate several of these elements to capture readers' attention and interest.
Assessment for Learning
Assessment for learning involves gathering information about students' learning through tasks and rubrics, analyzing the information, and using it to make decisions to improve learning. It seeks to directly assess students' performance through real-life tasks and products, unlike traditional assessments. The goals of assessment for learning are to determine students' learning needs, place them in an optimal learning environment, provide feedback on their strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate curriculum effectiveness.
Man and his Environment
This document discusses various types of ecosystems and their components. It begins by defining an ecosystem as a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. It then describes three major classes of ecosystems: freshwater, terrestrial, and oceanic. Each section provides details on the characteristics and examples of ecosystems within these classes. The document also discusses abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems, including producers, consumers, decomposers, and food chains/webs. It focuses specifically on carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water cycles, as well as symbiotic, parasitic, predatory, and competitive relationships between organisms within ecosystems.
Interview
This document outlines different types of interviews and interview techniques. It discusses informal versus formal interviews, structured versus unstructured interviews, and individual versus group interviews. It also provides tips for interviewees, including interviewing for multiple jobs, developing a compelling personal story, tailoring your story to each job, being prepared, and anticipating likely questions. Additionally, it discusses the three main parts of an interview: introduction, body, and conclusion.
Motion
1. This document discusses concepts related to motion including translational motion, uniform acceleration, vertical motion, freely falling objects, forces, Newton's laws of motion, impulse, momentum, velocity, and acceleration.
2. Key formulas presented include those for uniform acceleration, vertical motion, freely falling objects, Hooke's law, Newton's second law relating force and acceleration, and those relating impulse, momentum, velocity, and acceleration.
3. The document investigates the effects of forces on motion and different types of motion and forces including gravitational, electromagnetic, nuclear, and weak forces.
African poetry
David Diop was a French-Senegalese poet born in 1927 who expressed his longing for Africa in his poems. He received his primary education in Senegal and secondary education in France. Several of his early poems were published in an important anthology of modern black writing in French. Diop worked as a teacher in Dakar and school principal in Guinea before returning to Senegal in the 1950s to take part in its independence movement. His first book of poems in 1956 called for revolution and criticized European cultural domination in Africa. Diop tragically died in a plane crash in 1960, destroying most of his unpublished work.

Gestalt Psychology
- 1. "In psychology ... we have wholes which, instead of being the sum of parts existing independently, give their parts specific functions or properties that can only be defined in relation to the whole in question." Wolfgang Köhler: Human Perception. (La perception humaine, 1930)
- 2. The term “gestalt” means “form” or “configuration”. Proponents are Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler and Kurt Kofka They studied perception and concluded that perceivers (or learners) were not passive, but rather active.
- 10. “An individual has inner and outer forces that affect his perceptions and also his learning.”
