Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Gestalt psychology focuses on people's abilities to recognize patterns.

Explanation:

Gestalt psychology is a psychological current focused on the themes of perception and experience. Born and developed in the early twentieth century in Germany, it continued its articulation in the United States, a territory in which its main exponents were immigrants during the period of Nazi persecution.

The mind configures, through certain principles discovered by this same current, the elements that reach it through the sensory channels (perception) or memory (thought, intelligence and problem solving). In the experience that the individual has in his interaction with the environment, this configuration has a primary character on the elements that comprise it, and the sum of the latter could not generate in itself the understanding of mental functioning.
