Visual closure is a perceptual ability that allows complete visual patterns when only one or more parts of the object are presented. So we can get an “overall visual pattern” of the observed scene and to detect, differentiate, select and understand the visual information that we are seeing, even if it is not fully presented, or presented of a segmented way. These visual stimuli may be incomplete faces, figures, landscapes, letters, numbers, etc.

The ability of visual closure has an important role in processing visual information and participates in many academic and daily life activities of people.
