Gestalt Theory, CAT OR MOUSE?

GESTALT: The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.

Gestalt psychology, (founded by Max Wertheimer)
 We are built to see things as organised and structured wholes rather than the sum of their individual parts. We add structure to percieve things so as they fit in with the principles of Gestalt,

eg..
Law of Pragnanz
Law of Closure
Law of Similarity
Law of Symmetry
