the first law of all learning,especially gestalt learning is the necessity of the learner to"CHURN AND CHUNK" THOSE ACTIONS OR WORDS THAT THE LEARNER WANTS TO LEARN -- it is simple as that and is explained in detail in the book LEARNING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS: USING BRAINPACKAGES IN READING, WRITING AND THINKING by Stephen Hryvniak ( me and the 15,000 learners who "pushed" me in several schools including many summer school remedial schools and tutoring situations. These people for 20 years were the humans who "pushed" me to find a practical human-faced patterned plan for ergonomic use by regular students of all abilities to unlock the mystery of all those "words-in-a-row" of our regular books. regular homework, regular classwork, regular recitations, regular essay work, and most of the other learning jobs facing students. These 15,000 students are the makers and cheeerleaders for this simple plan of LEARNING TO LEARN for students from the comprehension age of 10 (4th grade) -- I like to say this BRAINPACKAGING PLAN is useful for learning from age 10 to 100 to students of all levels of learning.
CHURNING AND CHUNKING IS THE FIRST LAW OF GESTALT LEARNING if you listen to these 15,000 students and teir teacher. Thank you for " churning and chunking these words for your own use.
Sincerely, Stphen Hryvniak

Learning theory focuses on understanding how learning occurs, while learning psychology explores the mental processes involved in learning, including how individuals acquire, retain, and apply knowledge. Learning theory is more theoretical and abstract, whereas learning psychology delves into the specific cognitive and behavioral aspects of learning.
The learning theory has evolved from different schools of thought over time, including behaviorism, cognitive psychology, and social learning theory. It incorporates ideas from these various perspectives to develop a comprehensive understanding of how learning occurs.
Behavioral psychology or theory is defined as a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Advocated by famous psychologists such as John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner, behavioral theories dominated psychology during the early half of the twentieth century.
Gestalt theory is a psychological theory that emphasizes the importance of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. It focuses on how humans perceive and experience the world as organized wholes, rather than as individual elements. It also stresses the concept of "gestalt" or pattern, highlighting how our minds tend to organize information into coherent forms.
Gestalt is a theory of learning that focuses on the minds perspective. It is useful as a behavioural tool as it enables the teacher to channel the pupils energy into thinking of an item or subject as parts of a whole, e.g. a car, being metal, paint, wheels etc. By thinking of components and breaking down a situation it enables for a more psychological process to take place and over time will broaden a pupils mind into thinking of the sum of the whole rather than just a complete thing of situation.
A very big impact. I myself study psychology in Belgium and I can tell you that gestalt psychology is mentioned in all my textbooks. It's a very interesting theory too.

Structuralism is a theoretical paradigm that elements of human culture have to be understood in relationship to a larger structure. Functionalism is a theory of mind developed as an alternative ti behaviorism. Behaviorism is a psychology that combines philosophy, methodology and theory. Gestalt psychology is a theory of mind that forms a global whole with self-organizing tendencies.

Gestalt psychology does not break down the human mind into bits and pieces. It is an outlook that focuses on the mind and stimuli as one solid piece. Each person sees the world in a different way and reacts to stimuli in their own way. Gestalt psychology began in pre-WWI Germany and is quite volatile as challengers of the Gestalt theory are unable to prove that their side is correct.
