Hello! Thanks for this! I'm currently self learning Graphic Design. I did my own Design Curriculum as my study guide. While researching for the topics i need to learn to better understand Graphic Design, I stumbled upon the Gestalt Psychology and how it can be used to enhance and amplify visual language
btw, speaking of Graphic Design, i think it might be a good idea to create a video that relates Gestalt and Design. Cuz most of the Gestalt videos here in UA-cam are created by Graphic Designers. That entails a bit of a bias in terms of the graphic side of gestalt, never the actual "psychology" of it. Cuz as you might said on this video, Gestalt is more than the visual perception only (If I'm not mistaken).
@@fallandrix5232 Thanks for this helpful feedback and this brilliant suggestion. I have just put such a video on my list of future videos to create. I hope you see it here someday soon!
My interest in this video, in fact, is a response to a pragmatic goal that falls within my keenness to understand learning theories from different sources, in a short time before delving into their details that require reference to the original cognitive sources of the founders of schools of psychology.
Hello - thanks so much for this video! I'm happy to leave you note about why I looked for this video and am so grateful to you for making it: I am a student, and Gestalt was mentioned in the required reading. I am the type of student that looks up everything I'm not familiar with and have found youtube to be a great time saver in this endeavor, especially while studying. I must say that your video was the most helpful of all I found, and you spoke to it in the beginning: most others spoke to therapy & not psychology, and that's what I was looking for: an explanation of what Gestalt is and its history. Your explanation was most helpful. Thank you again!
Thanks for this feedback! It's cool that people are still teaching Gestalt psychology around the world, as I feel like the Gestaltists were way ahead of their time. I am surprised to hear that Gestalt Therapy is still being talked abut, however!
@@socialneuro Gestalt Therapy is extremely popular in Ukraine right now. I can safely say it's the most popular type of psychotherapy in my country. However, the popularity of CBT is also on the rise. We were also told about Gestalt Psychology as undergrads, and I remember being fascinated by how complex and thought-through it was. Thank you for making a video about it!
Gestalt psychology and more specifically the individual laws or rules are a small topic on my upcoming cognitive psychology exam, so I searched for this video as part of my revising process as I’m moving down my recommended revision list and have just reached this! Thank you for an informative video.
Thank you so much for this video it is very helpful. I'm a psychology student from Germany and the way our book explaines Gestalt Psychology is very difficult to understand
Thank you for this excellent concise explanation of the origins of Gestalt Psychology. I am an artist/photographer/film maker who is eager to learn new things, especially about composition and why one painting is more appealing to viewers than another. This is how I came across Molly Banks book ‘Picture This - How pictures work’. People like patterns, especially patterns that reflect those found in nature. Today I learned that its not so much the picture as how our brains are programmed that make a picture work. Thank you again. I will watch your longer lesson on this fascinating subject.
My schooling was in electronic engineering and was drawn to the issue of barrier regions (in transistor junctions) Later this concept came up in the writings of Michael Polanyi and his concept of tacit learning where he expanded the notion of Gestalt thinking into the notion that we know more then we can tell. It's interesting that recently I was attracted? to the work in the UK (and I suspect elsewhere) regarding the ability of the mind to predict things (The experience machine by Andy Clarke). I do think there is a lot to explore into the way we think and perceive. Thank you for the efort.
I am learning about Gestalt psychology because my friend wrote a book on Biblical Hebrew Poetry and used Gestalt principles as some foundations for building her methodologies.
Thank you very much, the video was great, clearly and attractively explained. It has helped me a lot to make myself a general idea of Gestalt psychology, why it developed and its legacy.
Thank you for your great content. I am a student of data science, and in gestalt psychology was a big part of a lecture on data visualization course, which is about presenting the data. That's why I looked it up. Although what was presented in the lecture was very basic and simple, with the keyword: "the whole is more than its constituent parts"
Happy to leave a note here about why i'm at this video: One of my professors in my history of psychology class actually linked it as one of the additional resources to look at beyond our textbook! The chapter that i'm on at the moment is about Gestalt psychology and doesn't have a whole lot on one of the questions i'm trying to answer so, I thought i should take a look at this video.
It's interesting how they make analogies with the physics of the time that, in a way, correlate to current description of neurology. I question, Professor: why people don't remember their pre-school education? (education before age 6) I have a hard time explaining to people how important that period is (and why people who teach kids those ages should get the higher wages) ... I have a feeling it's because (I hope I'm correct) it's during that period that we acquire our gestalts and, therefore, the basis on which even memories are made. Well ... even if my understanding is incorrect ... thanks for the video!
I am leaning about transpersonal psychology and applying a program at Naropa University, seems like this is an important topic of transpersonal psychology. Nice video! Thank you so much
I'm an architect taking my master's degree in teaching for higher education and one reading superficially mentioned the gestalt psychology. Then while watching a lecture on architecture theory it was mentioned again, also only mentioned not extended. I am curious about how architecture theory and teaching theory are related through gestalt psychology.
I am more interested in learning Gestalt therapy as i am going through counselling. but it is always a good idea to expand and have and idea how Gestalt evolved into a therapeutic modality. You must be from Canada originally or USA? Great academic lecture. I did a history of psy. 18 years ago during my BA nice to refresh it !
Thank you soo much for sharing your knowledge to the world and also I would like to write why did I follow the video I am a trainee teacher from a teacher traning college in Sri Lanka. In our syllabus we have to follow up the gestalt theory for Psychology. Again thank you soo much for sharing this video ❤
Thanks for this great video, I'm interested in aptitudes and cognitive abilities Measurements and the history behind it, I've question about Johnson o'connor, where is his place in the psychology history, I didn't find books talk about him and his work in aptitudes testing, he is not academic but i think he is a pioneer, what do you think, your opinion is valuable for me.
Thanks for your feedback. I hadn’t heard of O’Connor before. I did a quick look up about him and realise I should know more about him. Perhaps I’ll even make a video about him one day!

That makes sense. There's a lot of psychology in the Bible.

I am from India. I looked for this video because it's in my course.
Thanks for letting me know! Are there are other subjects in your course that might be good for me to make a video about in the future?
