AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Visual closure is the ability to fill in the missing details into an incomplete shape. This requires abstract problem-solving. A good example of this is working on puzzles; being able to put a picture together in your mind and piece it together correctly. This also will cause a problem with writing and spelling.

Detailed explanation-2: -We’ve known since the 1970s that the brain can “fill in” inaudible sections of speech, but understanding how it achieves this phenomenon – termed perceptual restoration – has been difficult.

Detailed explanation-3: -The phenomenon is known as edge induction, and is believed to help us distinguish objects in dim light or through fog, or when we see objects through dappled light, such as would be found in a forest.

Detailed explanation-4: -Visual closure is a visual perceptual skill that allows you to know what an object is even when the object is only partially visible. For example, if your sock is sticking out from under your bed you recognize it is your missing sock. Another example, is reading words together instead of every letter at a time.

Detailed explanation-5: -The visual cortex is the primary cortical region of the brain that receives, integrates, and processes visual information relayed from the retinas. It is in the occipital lobe of the primary cerebral cortex, which is in the most posterior region of the brain.
