How does "gestalt" work in the world?
Q. I had to look up the definition of "gestalt" in the dictionary and find two ways that it works in the world. Someone please help!
Asked by amm - Thu Jun 5 15:24:42 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. WordWeb (freeware) defines "gestalt" as "a configuration or pattern of elements so unified as a whole that it cannot be described merely as a sum of its parts". The easiest example would be a human being, or any living organism, for that matter. Another example might be an operating computer, i.e., one that is running a complex program and producing something of value.

Could the gestalt principles of psychology also apply to sound/music?
Q. I was thinking that it could because there are a lot of similarities between the two. Proximity, similarity, continuity, connectedness and closure could apply to music but I was just wondering if it was really possible to apply those principles to music.

A. Of course they can and do. If you look hard enough, you can find many examples. In language I remember listening to a research talk in which the researcher found that people heard a phoneme where there was silence because a sound before the silence and a sound after the silence occurred in a certain relationship and form to one another, demonstrating the concept of closure from a Gestalt perspective, but I don't think he was a Gestaltist, but a constructivist of one kind or other.

What is gestalt? Does everything have a gestalt?
Q. Is the cognitive process of extracting a gestalt a "good" thing or a "bad" thing or something else?

A. I don't know. But I could look it up if I wanted to remind myself. Why'd you ask this Q? Ok...Here is a link... (Never-Mind...I don't wanna read all that either). *** "A physical, biological, psychological, or symbolic configuration or pattern of elements so unified as a whole that its properties cannot be derived from a simple summation of its parts". Now, we both Know. Thank You.
