Behaviorism.
Gestalt psychology emphasizes that perception is not simply the sum of individual parts but rather that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This approach focuses on how humans perceive patterns and relationships in the world around them, highlighting the importance of context and organization in shaping our understanding of the world.
Psychology as a traditional belief may rely on folklore, superstitions, or cultural practices to explain behavior, while psychology as a science is based on empirical research, testing hypotheses, and using systematic methodologies to study and understand human behavior and mental processes. The scientific approach in psychology aims to ensure objectivity, reliability, and validity in its findings, separating it from beliefs or anecdotes that lack scientific evidence.
The belief in extrasensory perception (ESP) is not supported by empirical evidence and is not accepted within mainstream psychology. Psychologists focus on studying phenomena that can be tested, measured, and observed through scientific methods rather than those that lack scientific basis.
In psychology, animism refers to the belief that non-living objects or entities have feelings, intentions, or consciousness. This belief is considered a normal part of cognitive development in children, as they attribute human-like traits to things around them. Psychologists study animism as a way to understand how children develop an understanding of the world.
Behaviorism is the approach to psychology that arose from the belief that the study of the mind and consciousness was not scientific. Behaviorists focused on observable behavior and how it can be influenced by environmental factors through conditioning and reinforcement. Key figures in behaviorism include John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner.
Watson's belief that psychology should focus on overt behavior became the foundation of behaviorism, which emphasizes observable behaviors and the environmental factors that influence them. This perspective rejects the study of mental processes and focuses on how behavior is learned through conditioning.

An apophenia is a perception relating to a belief in connectedness between unrelated phenomena.
A salient belief about an object's attribute influences the perception of the object in total. So if the belief (subjective knowledge) is not salient it will not influence the object's perception. The salient belief depends on the situation. There are three different kinds of beliefs that are discribed in the relation to Ajzen and Fishbeins Theory of Reasoned Behavior (followed by the Theory of Planned Behavior).
