Gestalt psychologists emphasize that organisms perceive entire patterns or configurations, not merely individual components. The view is sometimes summarized using the adage, "the whole is more than the sum of its parts.": 13 Gestalt psychology was founded on works by Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Köhler, and Kurt Koffka.
