CLOSURE AND FLEXIBILITY OF CLOSURE AS IT RELATES TO PERCEPTION AND INDUCTIVE REASONING.
The present study, which investigated closure and flexibility of closure as it relates to perception and inductive reasoning, was based on the assumption that closure processes, as understood in perception, were the same or similar to closure processes in inductive reasoning. The study provided an o...

The study provided an overview of research that investigated closure in perception and closure in reasoning, and identified flexibility of closure as a dynamic function inherent in Wertheimer's laws of perceptual organization. Flexibility of closure was considered a fundamental component of perception and inductive reasoning. Flexibility of closure in perception facilitated the presentation of images in the old-woman young-woman illusion, and maintained a closed image of each that was welldefined, regular, and simplistic. Flexibility of closure in inductive reasoning facilitated the incorporation of observed events that supported the premise (a statement of the relationship between the observed event and the identification of that event), and maintained as a closed unit until it became necessary to modify the premise. Flexibility of closure in perception and flexibility of closure in inductive reasoning have yet to endure the rigours of scientific investigation. In the present study, flexibility of closure in perception provided a fruitful approach to the study of optical illusions, and flexibility of closure in inductive reasoning contributed toward an understanding of the inductive reasoning process. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of ETC: A Review of General Semantics is the property of Institute of General Semantics, Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
