Closure

I can say for the first time in my life I was instructed to read a comic for school. Granted, it didn't involve super heroes, but it was a unique break from a typical article. The comic was about Closure and how we as humans use it on a daily basis. Basically, Closure is the process that occurs when we take our knowledge and past experiences and use them to interpret something that may not be fully apparent. One example that the comic used was a bunch of pop bottles with a logo and several words that are not fully shown. Using Closure, many people see the logo and instantly know it is referring to Pepsi and though we cannot see the entire word the fact that we know only a few of the letters we can guess what the rest of the letters are that make up the word. Another example it used was the positioning of a quarter and two dimes in a way that many people would recognize as a profile of Mickey Mouse.

Further it explained that even though we may not see everything that is occuring, we can deduce what is occuring based solely on what happens in the frames that we do see. An example shown in the comic is two people kissing and slowly lowering out of frame. Though the article doesn't explicitly say what they do once they are out of frame, it can easily be assumed what will happen using closure.
