Amodal completion (AC) is analyzed, by looking at its historical roots and persisting conceptual difficulties. Looking at the origin of the concept, it becomes clear that it is not equivalent to perception of occluded parts. The role of fragment incompleteness is discussed, to clarify that it cannot be taken as a necessary factor for eliciting AC. The standard view of AC, depicted as a set of processes that extrapolate from veridically represented image fragments, is evaluated and rejected on the basis of evidence that AC modifies also modal parts. The theoretical importance of AC phenomena and their potential to reveal the inner forces of perceptual organization are emphasized, with specific reference to the minimum principle. Instances in which AC might be expected but does not occur are examined, to define the limits of such an integrative process.

重新审视 Amodal 完成。

通过审视其历史根源和持续存在的概念困难，对非模态完成（AC）进行了分析。看看这个概念的起源，很明显它并不等同于对被遮挡部分的感知。讨论了片段不完整性的作用，以澄清它不能被视为引发 AC 的必要因素。AC 的标准视图被描述为从真实表示的图像片段推断的一组过程，根据 AC 也修改模态部分的证据来评估和拒绝。强调了交流现象的理论重要性及其揭示感知组织内在力量的潜力，并特别提到了最小原则。检查可能预期发生 AC 但未发生的情况，以定义此类集成过程的限制。
