Human mind and behaviour is one

Explanation:

Gestalt psychology is a school of thought that looks at the human mind and behaviour as a whole. When trying to make sense of the world around us, Gestalt psychology suggests that we do not simply focus on every small component.

Instead, our minds tend to perceive objects as part of a greater whole and as elements of more complex systems. This school of psychology played a major role in the modern development of the study of human sensation and perception.
