Kurt Koffka

Kurt Koffka was a German psychologist and one of the founders of Gestalt psychology, which studies how people perceive and interpret visual and sensory information as integrated wholes rather than just collections of parts. He believed that our minds organize experiences into meaningful patterns, emphasizing that perception is influenced by context, relationships, and overall organization. Koffka's work helped us understand phenomena like how we recognize shapes, patterns, and objects in complex scenes, highlighting that understanding arises from viewing experiences as complete, structured units rather than isolated details.
