Gestalt Psychology

A

Humans innately perceive things as a whole so that what is perceived individual bits of stimulus but to the whole, and that people actively add structure to what they see rather than just reacting to it. Figure ground

Q

Circulation concepts

A

1) dumbbell: simplistic and most flexible
