ABSTRACT:
Ehrenfels introduced the term ‘Gestalt quality’ to explain our perception of melodies. Rubin, on the other hand, carried out experiments wherein he proved that we see figures against a background. Rubin employed the term ‘contour’ to explain the figure-ground phenomenon. The author analyzes in detail the exact meanings of these two terms and he notices striking similarities between the explanation of Gestalt perception by Ehrenfels and the one by Rubin.
