{wiki=Gestalt_pattern_matching}
Gestalt pattern matching is a cognitive theory that describes how individuals perceive and identify patterns in complex information. It draws from the principles of Gestalt psychology, which emphasizes holistic processing and the idea that the human mind tends to perceive entire structures rather than merely the sum of their parts. In the context of pattern recognition, Gestalt pattern matching refers to the cognitive process by which people recognize and interpret stimuli based on their overall form or configuration, rather than focusing solely on individual components or details.
