| summary | Gestalt psychology theory emphasizes that humans perceive patterns or wholes rather than individual parts. Its key principles include figure-ground (distinguishing objects from their background), proximity (grouping items close together), similarity (associating similar elements), continuity (following smooth lines), closure (perceiving incomplete figures as complete), and connectedness (joining separated elements). An example is how we perceive a face in fragmented images.
