Answer:

1. believing that two people can see one thing in different ways.

2. seeing pictures in cloud shapes.

Explanation:

Gestalt approach: In psychology, the term "gestalt approach" or "gestalt theory" signifies that the "whole is greater than its parts". In other words, the attributes of anything whole aren't deducible by analyzing its specific parts in isolation.

A famous Gestalt psychologist named Kurt Koffka explained that the human brain and eye distinctly perceives a particular shape as compared to the way they are being perceived by the single parts of those specified shapes.

There are five distinct principles involved in Gestalt theory:

1. Proximity.

2. Closure.

3. Continuity.

4. Connectedness.

5. Similarity.
