Gestalt Theory
Lesson Outline
Today we began discussing the Gestalt Learning Theory. Max Wertheimer was introduced along with his four laws of grouping, Similarity, Proximity, Continuation, and Closure. For each of these laws, Abby was presented with an image or two and asked to explain what she was seeing. Based on her answer, we compared and contrasted each to the law.

Lesson Comments
Abby participated in the class today when presented with the different images. She explained what she was initially seeing and we used her examples to relate to each of the laws. Much of the time was spent covering the theory through lecture. As explained to Abby, this theory requires greater detail and exploration, however; the material is important to introduce the topic as part of the course, Introduction to Psychology.
