ABSTRACT:
The detailed algorithmical analysis of the good continuation principle shows that that principle
supports a) the concept of Gestalt as a “short description of the visual stimuli”, and b)
the “imitation principle” for choosing an adequate language for that description (Guberman &
Woitkowski 2001). From that point of view classical examples from Wertheimer’s paper and
Köhler’s papers are explained. It is also shown that the Gestalt is a powerful tool for generalizing
particular visual stimuli. These ideas could be found in Wertheimer’s writings but they were
overlooked by his followers. At the same time a tendency exists to expand groundlessly the notion
of “good continuation” beyond the boundaries of psychology (for example, to history).
