Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tendency to mentally complete forms and figures that are actually incomplete is known as closure. This is the phenomenon where people perceive a complete shape, even if part of it is missing or not visible. This relates to Gestalt psychology, where the whole is perceived as more important than the individual parts. Choice A (contouring) and choice D (convergence) do not accurately describe this tendency. Choice B (similarity) may be related to Gestalt principles, but it does not specifically describe the completion of forms and figures.
