Law of Closure

Hi folks!
Can you read this?

"If You Can Raed Tihs, You Msut Be Raelly Smrat"
"Law of Closure —The law of closure states that individuals perceive objects such as shapes, letters, pictures, etc., as being whole when they are not complete. Specifically, when parts of a whole picture are missing, our perception fills in the visual gap."

Gestalt Laws: Similarity, Proximity and Closure

According to the Gestalt school of thought, humans are naturally capable of perceiving objects as orderly and organized forms and patterns.

Test yourself =>
If you want to know how this is possible (to understand a "meaningless" group of "words") try to read "the text below":

"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

If you can read the four lines above, congratulations you know the language quite well.
In fact those "words" are understood due to the ability of human brain "to solve puzzles."
We will always try to organize things, bring order to the chaos, make something (more) logical.

You can understand more about "Closure according to Gestalt" reading this article
