    Cognitive Perspective: Gestalt Psychology and Gagne's Conditions of Learning

    Uploaded by

    Marko Kasaysayan
    Gestalt theory emphasizes that learning involves actively perceiving wholes rather than passively receiving information. Learners restructure information based on principles like proximity, similarity, closure, and figure/ground perception. Gestalt psychologists like Wertheimer, Kohler and Koffka studied how past experiences and needs shape perception according to principles guiding the formation of perceptual patterns.

    Cognitive Perspective

    Gestalt Psychology and


    Gagne’s Conditions of Learning

    Facilitating Learning
    Discussant: Mr. Mark Christian Gayoma
    Facilitator: Dr. Judith Dela Cruz
    What is Gestalt Theory?
    • Gestalt Theory was the initial cognitive response to behaviorism. It
    emphasize the importance of sensory wholes and the dynamic nature
    of visual perception.

    • The term “gestalt” means “form” or “configuration”.

    • Psychologist, Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler and Kurt Koffka


    studied perception and concluded that perceivers or learners we’re
    not passive, but rather active.
    Gestalt Theory
    • They suggested that learners do not just collect information as in but
    they process and restructure data in order to understand it. This is the
    “perceptual process”.

    • Certain factors impact on this perceptual process. Factors like past


    experiences, needs, attitudes and ones present situation can affect
    their perception

    • One may have difficulty perceiving both the words “you” and “me” if
    someone is trying to forget an old sweetheart who caused pain.
    Gestalt Theory
    According to Gestalt psychologist, 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 situations we meet.

    • Law of Proximity
    • Law of Similarity
    • Law of Closure
    • Law of Good Continuation
    • Law of Good Pragnanz
    • Law of Figure/Ground
    Gestalt Theory
    • Law of Proximity
    Elements that are closer together will
    be perceived as coherent object. On
    the left, there appears to be three
    columns, while on the right, there
    appears to be three horizontal rows.
    When the objects are perceiving near
    each other, we perceived them as
    belonging to each other.
    Gestalt Theory
    • Law of Similarity
    Elements that looked similar
    will be perceived as part of
    the same form. There seems
    to be a triangle in the
    square. We link similar
    elements together.
    Gestalt Theory
    • Law of Closure
    We tend to feel the gaps or
    “closure” the figures we
    perceive. We enclose a space by
    completing and ignoring gaps in
    the figure.
    Gestalt Theory
    • Law of Good Continuation

    Individuals have the tendency


    to continue contouors
    whenever the elements of the
    pattern establish an implied
    direction. People tend to draw
    a good continuous line.
    Gestalt Theory
    • Law of Pragnanz
    The stimulus will be organized into as
    food a figure as possible. In this
    example, good refers to simmetry,
    simplicity, and regularity. The figure is
    perceived 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.
    Gestalt Theory
    • 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.
