An object that is occluded can still be recognized. Explain why we can still recognize an object that is occluded. Also describe a potential perceptual error that can arise when something is occluded

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: An occluded object is perceived as a complete object because the portion of the object that is occluded is filled in by the visual system. Relatability is one factor that contributes to this completion process. However, we can sometimes perceive a stimulus inaccurately when we fill in information that is not present in reality.
