When asked a 22 year old the objects were: a blob, and egg, squares, squares with lines, a grill, kind of looks like a microphone, circles, and sperm.
I think i am surprised that my two subjects did not make more sense out of the nonsense…
Gestalt psychology or gestaltism is a theory of mind and brain that proposes that the operational principle of the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies; or, that the whole is different from the sum of its parts. The Gestalt effect refers to the form-forming capability of our senses (the word Gestalt in German literally means "shape" or "figure"), particularly with respect to the visual recognition of figures and whole forms instead of just a collection of simple lines and curves. In psychology, gestaltism is often opposed to behaviourism.

i was thinking about a book i have that shows portraits of people. the only funny thing about it is that they are all playing video games. so their expressions express an intensity of concentration. i was thinking about responses and all the different ways you could look at that.
