Total perception and recognition learning
(RESUME)

A new interpretation of the total perception phenomenon is suggested inconsistent with the idea that internal, psychological acts are in fact interiorized external, practical ones. The interpretation is also inconsistent with the one-way Gestalt theoretical approach which explains the relations between the whole and its elements as a domination of the "whole-elements" determination. A fundamental aporia has been formulated, which must be solved for proper consideration of the problem of total perception; a possible approach to its solution is suggested. Connection between particular ideas concerning the nature of the total perception and methods of teaching recognition skills is analyzed. A hypothesis is forwarded that the teaching should be broken into stages in correspondence with the microgenetic stages of the development of the total image; an example of the realization of the approach is presented.
