What is the main objective of Gestalt psychology?

  1. To understand how memories are formed

  2. To explain how our overall behavior is shaped by our personality

  3. To analyze how behavior and experience depend on spatial context

  4. To understand how thoughts, feelings, and behavior interact

The correct answer is: To understand how thoughts, feelings, and behavior interact

Gestalt psychology is more centered on understanding the relationship between perception and experience, and how our thoughts, feelings, and behavior are interconnected. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not align with the core concept of Gestalt psychology. It does not solely focus on memory formation, personality, or spatial context, but rather on the holistic understanding of an individual's perception and behavior.
