Humans can rapidly extract object and category information from an image despite surprising limitations in detecting changes to the individual parts of that image. In this article we provide evidence that the construction of a perceptual whole, or Gestalt, reduces awareness of changes to the parts of this object. This result suggests that the rapid extraction of a perceptual Gestalt, and the in...

When I first conceived the plan of writing this book I guessed, though I did not know, how much effort it would cost to carry it out, and what demands it would put on a potential reader. And I doubted, not rhetorically but very honestly and sincerely, whether such labour on the part of the author and the reader was justified. I was not so much troubled by the idea of writing another book on psy...

Gestalt principles are rules for the organization of perceptual scenes. They were introduced in the context of philosophy and psychology in the 19th century and were used to define principles of human perception in the early 20th century. The Gestalt (form, in German) principles include, among others: proximity, the grouping of closely positioned objects; similarity, the grouping of objects of ...

Gestalt imagery-the ability to create imaged wholes-is a critical factor in oral and written language comprehension. Despite good decoding, good vocabulary, and adequate background experiences, many individuals experience weak gestalt imagery, thus processing "parts" rather than "wholes," from verbal stimuli, spoken or written. This contributes to a Language Comprehension Disorder that may be a...

The paper describes a series of experiments testing a recognition based computerized mug shot database system (gestalt based) for police use. The prototype is compared to the more traditional feature based database system. The gestalt based database was shown to perform significantly better than the feature based database when the quality of the signals was improved. In addition, the gestalt ba...

Two theories of human memory, Gestalt theory and assoclationism, are contrasted with respect to their predictions about the cued recall of sentences. The Gestalt theory, with its assumption of emergent propemes, predicts that test probes which maintain the configural properties of the studied sentences should be superior to probes that do not. The associative theory, with its assumption of inde...

Heroin and nonopiate users, psychotic and nonpsychotic, were compared on the Bender-Gestalt test, a mental ability scale, and an affect adjective checklist. Analyses of variance and covariance indicated heroin effects were highly significant (p < .01) on the Bender-Gestalt test. Psychosis effects lacked significance on any test. Constricted use of space, a tendency to rotate designs, and persev...
