Schizophrenia is one of the main neuropsychiatric disorders associated with mental health problems in the world. The study of its symptoms can complement clinical advances and aid the understanding of cognitive processes of subjects affected by this illness. A review of the problem posed by this study concerning the visual perception of people with schizophrenia and its influence on the learning process has been carried out from different research works. Visual perception is a mental activity that is related to psychological functions such as learning and memory. Through perception we make an interpretation of the world around us, so we have to consider subjective elements that are related to the experiences of the observing subject. Gestalt proposes a series of laws tending to mental order that show that the way in which we perceive responds to a series of elements configured in our brain. People with a mental disorder, such as schizophrenics, do not respond to the same scheme of visual perception which, in turn, can cause disconnection. We expose the basic principles of Gestalt, so that the scope of its implication in perceptual processes can be understood as well as a proposal to improve the artistic-visual learning of these subjects.
