Can I call a function from app/controller/application.rb into app/models?

Can I call a function from app/controller/application.rb in app/ models? because when I run test units, I got "NoMethodError: undefined method `get_person' for #<Class:0x6aec8f0>" but I define get_person into application.rb. and I know, when run rails, the first time load controller, then models, at last is view. So I think, I can call this method "get_person" from application.rb in models, but there is wrong. why? Thanks!

You can't call the method without being or having an instance of a controller that extends ApplicationController. I suggest learning more about object-oriented programming.
