ABSTRACT
Renewed interest in problems first investigated by Gestalt psychologists has brought forth a variety of so-called “Neo-Gestalt” theories. Although they differ among themselves, they have in common an interest in such phenomena as perceptual grouping and Prägnanz; and most of them take an information processing approach to their material. This chapter examines the underlying assumptions of several of these new psychologies and compares them to those of Gestalt theory.
