The Gestalt theories are also known as the law of simplicity. The term Gestalt in German means "the shape of an object". There are two famous phycologists that have studied and implieded them in Phycology they are : Max Werthemer and Kurt Koffka Those theories help students to stimulate, think, analyze and develop perception about objects.
