CLASSICAL CONDITIONING is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus (the bell) and a naturally occurring stimulus (the food).
Inheritable, trait, procedure, flaw
After recognizing the flaws of Galton's
theories, it was determined that: a person's
heredity and that person's environment interact to produce intelligence.
They were German psychologists that disagreed with
the principles of structuralism.
Gestalt theory states that "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts." And it is in a way, a protest against Wundt's Psychology. They thought that when sensory elements combined, they formed a new pattern or configuration. Our perception goes beyond from what the eyes can see, beyond our senses.
It all started with Max Wertheimer's train trip from Vienna to Rhineland.
He felt the train was moving when it wasn't. So he decided to go back to his lab and find out why he saw what he saw.
From this, theories of visual perception were
developed. These theories attempt to describe how people tend to organize visual elements into groups or unified wholes when certain principles are applied. These principles are:
or law of simplicity
Continuation occurs when the eye is compelled to move through one object and continue to another object.
Continuation occurs in the example above, because the viewer's eye will naturally follow a line or curve. The smooth flowing crossbar of the "H" leads the eye directly to the maple leaf.
The word above is clearly perceived as figure with the surrounding white space ground.
In this image, the figure and ground relationships change as the eye perceives the the form of a shade or the silhouette of a face.
Everything started when Max Wertheimer was going to travel by train from Vienna to Rhineland. He had the sensation that the train had moved, when in fact it hadn't. Story has it he got off the train and decided to discover why he saw what he saw, and felt what he felt.
And that is how the laws of visual perception came to be. These type of laws try to describe how our brain organizes visual elements in groups or 'organized wholes" when certain principles are applied.
