Max Wertheimer was a pioneering Gestalt psychologist born in 1880 in Prague. He studied psychology and received his doctorate in 1905. From 1910-1914, he worked with Wolfgang Kohler and Kurt Koffka to develop the fundamental concepts of Gestalt theory through experiments testing their ideas. He later served as a professor of psychology in Frankfurt from 1929-1933 before immigrating to the United States in 1933. There, he joined the faculty at the New School for Social Research in New York City, where he remained for ten years until his death in 1943 working to complete his research on "productive thinking".
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.

Associationism is a theory that connects learning to thought based on principles of the organism’s causal history.
It claims that pairs of thoughts become associated based on the organism’s past experience.
The frequency with which an organism has come into contact with Xs and Ys in one’s environment determines the frequency with which thoughts about Xs and thoughts about Ys will arise together in the organism’s (Hume et al).
In particular, associationism can be used as
A theory of learning (e.g., as in behaviorist theorizing),
A theory of thinking (as in Jamesian “streams of thought”),
A theory of mental structures (e.g., as concept pairs), and
A theory of the implementation of thought (e.g., connectionism).
All these theories are separable, but share a related, empiricist-friendly core.
A “pure associationist” will refer to one who holds associationist theories of learning, thinking, mental structure, and implementation.

Gestalt psychology, 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.Gestalt Psychology Founder: Wolfgang Köhler, Max Wertheimer, and Kurt Koffka are the gestalt psychology founder.
.There are different paths to reality, they are determined by the knower, being instrumental methodological study object, epistemological axis, among others. Reality presents several faces, what is observable and what is perceived sensory empirical data obtained correspond to the visible, the main thing is to discover the hidden side, which is behind the perceptible or data. Epistemology is the whole process of obtaining scientific knowledge, ranging from the pre knowledge to get to know the hidden side, one thing is what is seen and what is not, and one that is not seen, is really it is.
Applebaum: Themes in phenomenological psychological researchMarc Applebaum, PhD
Description of Event (150 words maximum): Descriptive phenomenology is a well-established approach to qualitative research in which the researcher develops the ability to carefully analyze participants’ descriptions of their experiences. Researchers learn to attend carefully to interview data, setting aside their preconceptions about participants’ experiences, and deepening their own ability to empathically listen and discover essential psychological meanings. This presentation accompanied a 2-day overview of the method and discussion of its applications. Students were introduced to the descriptive phenomenological method, which Giorgi, Wertz, Halling, and Englander have applied to a range of important psychological themes.
Scientism, or the unity of scientific method. The positivist
methodology does not see any difference between the
natural and the social sciences. The adoption however, of
the unity of the scientific method is accepted in tandem
with the notion of the predominant role of the natural
sciences, in which the social sciences see their model.
The outcome is what we call scientism, that is the view
that only the natural sciences can produce the semantic
interpretation of knowledge.
The contemporary philosophy of science (epistemology) featuring K.Popper, T.Kuhn, I.Lakatos, P.Feyerabend, Hanson among others, has exercised a decisive critique to the dominant views of the positivist and neo-positivist model of knowledge and has in fact undermined its credibility.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Max Wertheimer Gestalt Learning 2
1. Max Wertheimer (1880 - 1943)
Gestalt Learning Theory
Productive Thinking
Biography
Max Wertheimer was born in Prague, April 15, 1880. He studied law at the University of
Prague from 1898-1901, and became interested in psychology, philosophy, and
physiology. From 1901 to 1904 he studied these subjects and received a doctorate in
1905. He did further study in psychology in Prague, Frankfurt, and Vienna.From 1910 -
1914 he worked with Wolfgang Kohler and Kurt Koffka developing the fundamental
concepts of Gestalt theory. The three conducted experiments to test their theories. In
these early years he met many influential people including Carl Jung and Albert Einstein.
He served as professor of psychology at the University of Frankfurt from 1929 - 1933,
and migrated to the United States in 1933.He joined the faculty of the New School for
Social Research in New York City and remained there for ten years. In 1943 he finished
his work on "productive thinking" and died in New Rochelle, NY that same year.
Theory
Wertheimer was the core of the trio of early German Gestalt Theorists (with Koffka and
Kohler). His ideas featured the view that thinking proceeds from the whole to the parts,
treating a problem as a whole, and permitting the whole to command or dominate over
the parts. This was a synthesis (up - chunking to more inclusive concepts) approach
rather than an analytical approach (down - chunking to details). Wertheimer thought
reductionism was a fundamental problem of his time; he was particularly interested in the
nature of problem solving.
Gestalt theory had a central idea of "grouping", or aspects of visual and other stimuli
which cause the subject to interpret a problem or perceptual event in a certain way.
Grouping factors included (1) proximity, elements that are close in space tend to be
grouped together and perceived as one or a few objects, (2)similarity, items that have
some similar characteristics tend to be grouped, (3) closure, elements which appear to
complete some shape or object tend to be grouped, and (4) simplicity, the tendency to
organize objects into simple figures. These factors were called the "Laws of
Organization".
Features of the productive thinking process included
1. Grouping and reorganizing components of a situation
2. Functioning in relation to characteristics of the whole rather than piecemeal
3. Avoids summing successions of parts or chance occurrences
4. Structural truth leads to sensible expectations and assumptions.
In Wertheimer's model, genuine thinking starts with a problem. The structural features
and requirements of the problem cause tension, the strain of which produces vectors that
prompt the individual to modify the situation in an improved direction. The process of
resolving a problem is to proceed from a bad gestalt to a better one.

Gestalt Learning Theory
Gestalt became one of the main theories of learning. The three main Gestalt theorists
(Wertheimer, Kohler, and Koffka) were all Germans, and received their training and did
their early work in Germany, but all three ended their careers in the US. The term
"Gestalt" was coined by Graf Christian von Ehrenfels. His ideas influenced the trio of
theorists.
Gestalt was a holistic approach and rejected the mechanistic perspectives of the stimulus
- response models. Numerous new concepts and approaches emerged from this different
philosophical perspective. The Gestalt theory proposes that learning consists of the
grasping of a structural whole and not just a mechanistic response to a stimulus.
A "Gestalt" is an integrated whole system with it's parts enmeshed. The whole is greater
than just the sum of the parts.
The "PHI" phenomenon described a characteristic of things wherein they have a
recognizability inherent in their nature. Examples include the recognizability of a
melody, no matter how it is arranged or what instrument plays it, or the recognizability of
a letter rendered in a wide variety of different fonts or type styles. Other examples
include the apparent motion created by a rapid sequence of stills in motion pictures, and
the sequences of illminating elements in neon signs which give the illusion of movement.
Visual and auditory examples are numerous. This phenomenon leads to the conclusion
that elements sensed are not the only reality.
"Phenomenology" is the acceptance of first hand experience as it is found in human
consciousness.
Gestalt Learning Theory proposed several laws of organization, which are innate ways
that human beings organized perceptions. A gestalt factor is a condition that aids in
perceiving situations as a whole or totality. Isomorphism refers to the Doctrine of
Psychophysical parallelism and depicts the cerebral cortex as "mapping these gestalt
fields of stimuli.
The Factor of Closure suggests that perception tends to complete incomplete objects.
When only part of an image, sound, thought or feeling is presented as a stimulus, the
brain attempts to complete it to generate the whole.
The Factor of Proximity suggests that when elements are grouped closely together, they
are percieved as wholes. This has relevance in reading, visual arts, and music.
3. The Factor of Similarity proposes that like parts tend to be grouped together in cognition.
This has implications for instruction, suggesting that learning is facilitated if similar ideas
are treated and linked together and then contrasted with opposing or complementary sets
of ideas.
The Figure-Ground Effect suggests that the eye tends to see the objects, rather than the
spaces or holes between them.
Trace Theory - This proposes a mechanism for learning in which neruological changes
occur as connections are made in the brain. These changes, called traces, represent links
between thoughts, ideas, concepts, images, etc. REpetition and uniqueness reinforce a
trace. Thus, learning is the creation of traces. Traces group together to form maps.
Instructional methods relating to repetition and to making items to be learned somehow
distinctive to make learning (trace formation) quicker and more lasting.
From the early theorys of Gestalt, there also emerged a branch of therapeutic
interventions, called Gestalt Therapy. Fritz Perls went through psychoanalytic training
with Karen Horney and then with Wilhelm Reich. He also adapted existentialist
philosophy along with Zen and Taoist views to therapeutic work, and was strongly
influenced by Freud.
