The term "Gestalt" means "whole" or "form." Gestalt psychology describes several principles of organization to explain sensation and perception as the process of grouping individual parts into a more meaningful whole You probably have seen Federal Express trucks rushing to deliver packages, but have you ever noticed the arrow shape in between the "E" and "x" letters? If not, go take at the log on their web site, or you may even have a package or letter laying around. See if you can spot the arrow.

Termite

Terman?s ?Termites? were intellectually gifted children, identified by their superior aptitude demonstrated on the Stanford Binet test at the age of 10. The criteria for selection was not random. Students were recommended by teachers and principals. These children were compared with 100 children deemed as having a lesser chance at success in life. This is hailed as the first true longitudinal study. It sought to track the social development of gifted children over a lifetime and, in effect, dispel the stereotype of profoundly gifted children as socially awkward people.

Perception If sensation is the bottom-up process of converting environmental energy into central nervous system messages, perception is the top-down process to make sense of those messages. Computers and robots simply detect and respond based on a network of predetermined rules. As humans, our previous experiences, opinions, and expectations mold fundamental sensations into individual perceptions; foods have a personal taste, certain music inspires emotion, colors affect our moods. Selective attention, sometimes labeled the cocktail party effect, is the ability to focus our concentration on specific stimuli. We mask the chaos of surrounding sensations and focus our attention on what we interpret to be important.
