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.
Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning.
Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment.
Behaviorists believe that our responses to environmental stimuli shape our actions.

In dealing with problems in life, there's a more humanistic type of psychology called the Gestalt therapy. Read to know more about this effective approach.
This is an introduction to Gestalt Therapy, invented by Fritz Perls, presented by Glenn Berger, PhD. I learned the method at the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in New York, under the auspices of Alan Cohen. I cover the discovery of Gestalt, contrasts to analysis, Field Theory, Figure/Ground, Contact Boundary, the Need Cycle, Layers of the Personality, Awareness, I/Thou, existential phenomenological method, and the goals of Gestalt therapy.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Wolfgang Köhler
(22 January 1887 – 11 June
1967)
He was a German
Psychologist and phenomenologist who,
like Max Wertheimer, and Kurt Kofka,
contributed to the creation of Gestalt
Psychology
During the Nazi regime in Germany, he
protested against the dismissal of Jewish
professors from universities, as well as
the requirement that professors give a
Nazi salute at the beginning of their
classes.
In 1935 he left the country for the
United States, where Swarthmore
College in Pennsylvania offered him a
professorship. He taught with its faculty
for 20 years, and did continuing
research.
4. Max Wertheimer (April 15,
1880 – October 12, 1943)
He was an Austro-Hungarian-born
psychologist who was one of the three
founders of Gestalt psychology, along
with Kurt Koffka and Wolfgang Köhler.
Wertheimer obtained his PhD in 1904
under Oswald Kϋlper, and then began his
intellectual career teaching in Frankfurt.
For a short time he left Frankfurt to work
at the Berlin Psychological Institute, but
returned in 1929 as a full professor.
Wertheimer eventually ended up at the
New School for Social Research in New
York, a position he held until his death.
Max Wertheimer is known for his
work Productive Thinking, as well as his
idea of Phi Phenomenon. Both
contributed to his collaboration
on Gestalt Psychology.
5. Kurt Koffka (March 18,
1886 – November 22,
1941)
He was a German psychologist. He was
born and educated in Berlin. Along
with Max Wertheimer and his close
associates Wolfgang Köhler they
established Gestalt psychology. Koffka’s
interests were wide-ranging, and they
included: Perception, hearing impairments
in brain-damaged patients, interpretation,
learning, and the extension of Gestalt
theory to development psychology.
During the First World War, he worked for
the Military in a position that later lead him
to a Professorship in Experimental
psychology. In 1927, he accepted a position
at the Smith College in Norththamton,
Masschusetts where he remained until his
death in 1941 from Coronary thrombosis.
6. It is a school of psychology founded in the 20th century that
provided the foundation for the modern study of perception.
Gestalt theory emphasizes that the whole of anything is greater
than its parts. That is, the attributes of the whole are not
deducible from analysis of the parts in isolation. The
word Gestalt is used in modern German to mean the way a
thing has been “placed,” or “put together.” There is no exact
equivalent in English. “Form” and “shape” are the usual
translations; in psychology the word is often interpreted as
“pattern” or “configuration.”
7. Gestalt psychology
Gestalt theory was the initial cognitive
response to behaviorism. It emphasized the
importance of sensory wholes and the
dynamic nature of visual perception.
The term Gestalt, means “form” or
“configuration.”
8. Psychologists Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler
and Kurt Koffka who studied perception,
concluded that;
Learners were not passive, but rather
active.
Learners do not just collect information as
is but they actively process and restructure
data in order to understand it.
Factors like past experiences, needs,
attitudes and one’s present situation can
affect their perception.
9. II. Gestalt Principles
According to the gestalt
psychologists, the way we form our
perceptions are guided by certain
principles or laws. These principles
or laws determine what we see or
make of things or situation.
10. Law of
Proximity
Elements
that are
closer
together will
be perceived
as coherent
object.
11. Law of
Similarity
Elements that look
similar will be
perceived as part
of the same form.
There seems to be
a triangle in the
square. We link
similar elements
together
12. Law of
Closure
We tend to fill the
gaps or “close”
the figures we
perceive. We
enclose a space by
completing a
contour and
ignoring gaps in
the figure.
13. Law of Good
Continuation
Individuals have the
tendency to continue
contours whenever
the elements of the
pattern establish an
implied direction.
People tend to draw
a good continuous
line.
14. Law of Good
Pragnanz
The stimulus will be
organized into as good as
figure as possible. In this
example, good refers to
symmetry, simplicity, and
regularity. The figure is
perceive as a square
overlapping a triangle , not
a combination of several
complicated shapes. Based
on our experiences with
perception, we “expect”
certain patterns and
therefore perceive that
expected pattern
15. Law of
Figure/Ground
We tend to pay
attention and
perceive things in
the foreground
first. A stimulus
will be perceived
as separate from
its ground.

23. The idea of insight learning was first
developed by Wolfgang Kohler in which he
describes experiments with apes where the
apes could use boxes and sticks as tools to
solve problems.
24. III. Insight Learning
In each of these problems, the important aspect of learning was not
reinforcement, but the coordination of thinking to create new
organization (of material. Kohler referred to this behavior as insight
or discovery learning.
Kohler proposed the view that insight follows from the
characteristics of objects under consideration.
His theory suggested that learning could occur when an individual
perceives the relationships of the elements before him and
reorganizes these elements and comes to a greater understanding or
insight.
Learning could occur without reinforcement, and once it occurs, no
review, training, or investigation necessary.
25.
26. Kurt Lewin’s Theory
An individual has inner and outer forces
that affect his perceptions.
Inner forces include his own motivation,
attitudes, and feelings.
Outer forces may include the attitude
and behavior of the teacher and
classmates.
27. Kurt Zadek
Lewin (September 9, 1890
– February 12, 1947)
He was a German
American psychologist,
known as one of the
modern pioneers of social,
organizational, and applied
psychology in the United
States.
Lewin is often recognized
as the "founder of social
psychology" and was one of
the first to study group
dynamics and organization
al developments.
28. Relevance of Gestalt Psychology to education
according to Marion Polito.
Gestalt psychology is focused on the experience of contact that occurs in
the here and now.
It takes interest in the complexity of experience, without neglecting
anything, but accepting and amplifying all that emerges.
It stimulates learning as experience and the experience as a source of
learning.
Knowledge is conceived as a continuous organization and rearrangement
of information according to needs, purposes and meanings.
Autonomy and freedom of the student is stimulated by the teacher.
The contact experience between the teachers and students is given value:
an authentic meeting based on sharing ideas and affections.
29. Gestalt is a theory of learning that focuses on the
minds perspective. It is useful as a behavioral tool as
it enables the teacher to channel the pupil’s energy
into thinking of an item or subject as parts of a
whole, e.g. a car, being metal, paint, wheels etc. By
thinking of components and breaking down a
situation it enables for a more psychological process
to take place and over time will broaden a pupils
mind into thinking of the sum of the whole rather
than just a complete thing of situation.
