Perceptual Closure Research Error
A researcher investigating the principle of closure in perception shows participants images with missing parts and measures how quickly they can identify the objects.

A
Ignoring the influence of past experience on object recognition
B
Assuming that the principle of closure applies equally to all sensory modalities
C
Confusing perceptual inference with the physical alteration of sensory input
D
Overlooking the role of top-down processing in filling in gaps
