➡Wolfgang Kohler, Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka, etc. were the prominent Gestalt Psychologist.

    GESTALT LAW OF LEARNING

1. Law of Similarity

- states that "when there are different sets of objects on view, then they are perceived as groups rather than individual objects".

2. Law of Proximity

- states that "objects which are close together are likely to be seen as a group".

3. Law of Closure

-  according to the law of closure, we prefer complete forms to incomplete forms.

4. Law of Continuity

- states that "we link individual elements of a configuration so that they form continuous pattern that makes sense to us".

My Reflection--these theory tell as that every individuals has its own perception in life...every one are different in processing information that they aquire....
