Do gestalt psychology and behaviourism have anything in common?

In: Psychology [Edit categories]

Answer:

Perhaps they have only one thing in common: they are both schools of psychology. Michael Wertheimer (1972) contrasted them in various ways in his extremely-useful 'Fundamental issues in psychology' (New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston). Perhaps other authors have contrasted them.
