Visual and auditory closure.

Abstract
"This study was concerned with discovering whether the closure factors isolated by Thurstone are specific to vision or whether they can generalize to the auditory modality. One auditory test was found which correlated with two visual tests of the second closure factor as highly as the two visual tests correlated with each other. This finding suggests that the second closure factor may be a central trait of considerable importance in a wide variety of behavior. Supporting evidence was found in other studies reporting significant relationships between this closure factor and tests of reasoning and temperament. A redefinition of this trait of ability was made in order to free it from its specifically perceptual connotations." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
