| | Max Wertheimer |
 | | He now found that such fundamental articles of faith as belief in the triune God, the divinity of Christ, and the virgin birth, were based solidly on the anticipations of the Old Testament. | | | After Wertheimer had matriculated, he was placed in the second-year class, and was thus able to complete in seven years the usual eight years’ course. | | | The death of his beloved wife was a devastating blow to Max, and he became a broken, unhappy man. One day, as he was walking aimlessly through the streets, a stranger spoke to him and, placing his hand on Max’s shoulder, remarked, “Rabbi, I am sorry for the domestic affliction that has befallen you. |

| | Sometime in 1911 Wertheimer called them in to explain the experiment.12 From then on their lives and work are intricately interwoven. | | | The relevance of Gestalt principles to teaching was also shown by Wertheimer; it became the basis for criticism of the emphasis on repetition and routine practice, which had derived its rationale from the associationistic theory of learning. | | | Wertheimer's study arose from dissatisfaction with this elementaristic, associationistic position of Wundt and others, which had left many characteristics of percepts unexplained by their supposedly ultimate components. |
