Gestalt qualities

Gestalt qualities

Gestalt qualities ("Gestaltqualitäten" in German) were introduced by Christian von Ehrenfels (1859-1932). The qualities were based on tests done by flashing lights for certain amounts of time. This discovery later led to the famous Gestalt effect discovered by Max Wertheimer.
