Amodal completion is the process of perceiving a whole object even when parts of it are missing or occluded. In this case, we perceive a complete heart even though some of the contours are missing. Uniform connectedness refers to the tendency to group elements that are connected by a uniform visual property, such as color or texture. Analytical orientation refers to the cognitive style of breaking stimuli down into smaller parts and analyzing them. Prototype matching involves comparing a new stimulus to a mental representation of a typical or ideal example. None of these processes are specifically related to completing missing contours.
