if u mean to say gestalt theory then,

gestalt psychology (also Gestalt theory of the Berlin School) is a theory of mind and brain that proposes that the operational principle of the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies. The classic Gestalt example is a soap bubble, whose spherical shape (its Gestalt) is not defined by a rigid template, or a mathematical formula, but rather it emerges spontaneously by the parallel action of surface tension acting at all points in the surface simultaneously. This is in contrast to the "atomistic" principle of operation of the digital computer, where every computation is broken down into a sequence of simple steps, each of which is computed independently of the problem as a whole. The Gestalt effect refers to the form-forming capability of our senses, particularly with respect to the visual recognition of figures and whole forms instead of just a collection of simple lines and curves. Gestalt theories of visual perception, especially the Law of Pragnanz have been largely discredited by progess in computational neuroscience.

Do you really mean "gestalt" theory? This is a psychological theory that deals mainly with the processes of perception. The gist of Gestalt theory is that images are perceived as a whole pattern, rather than the sum of many distinct parts. For example, in the context of a city silhouette many small details combine to present the outline of a single spire, which the viewer perceives as a church steeple. The gestalt is the church steeple, perceived as a whole, ignoring all the trivial geometric details which combine to create the image of the spire.

I don't know any "gesalt theory." Gestalt theory refers to a method of learning by grasping an entire structure or picture of what is to be learned, rather than a piece-by-piece or step-by-step process.
